That's right but can we generalize this problem to find even for larger numbers. Like if in the question we had to find multiples between 120 and 340.
To count evenly spaced integers:
Number = (biggest - smallest)/interval + 1.
Given multiples of 4, the interval is 4.
Between 12 and 96, inclusive:
Multiples of 4 = (96-12)/4 + 1 = 22.
Between 120 and 340, inclusive:
Multiples of 4 = (340-120)/4 + 1 = 56.
