- Let's ignore 324,700-324,999 and 458,001-458,600 to start, and just say: "try and find how many 13's there are between 325,000 and 458,000."
- You know that each thousand number has 10 of them (ie 325,013; 325,113; 325,213....325,913 etc).
- You also know that there are 133 "thousands" between 325,000 and 458,000
- so if each of these "thousands" has 10 "13s", then we have a total of 1,330 "13's".
- but remember, we have to add the few we ignored at first: so there are 3 "13's going from 324,700-324,999 [ie 324,713; 324,813; 324,913] and 6 of them going from 458,000 to 458,600, for a total of 9.
So, 1330 + 9 = 1339.
Hope that helps.
