IMO its 62

260/4 = has 66 numbers with 4 as factor plus we'll leave 4, 8, 12, 16 = 4 numbers hence 62 in total

260/4 = 65 numbers, this includes 260 as well. Hence 64. Applying same logic, we get 60.

How many multiples of 4 are there between 16 and 260?

Two Keyis not to include 16 and 260.

Divide 4 by 20 and 256 and you will have 5 and 64.

Next 64 - 5 + 1 = 60.

IMO it's 62

= (Last term - First term) / Increment +1
= { ( 260-16 ) / 4 } +1
= ( 244 / 4 ) +1
= 61+1
= 62 ..#

It says between,so we should not include 16 and 260.
If the question said inclusive then the answer would be 62
