an even simpler method is to just find out the numbers between 4 & 65, which would again be 60. Sorry for including unnecessary progressions and formulas and calculations...pankajks2010 wrote:as the question is to find out multiples of r between 16 and 260, we would not consider 16 and 260..
Thus, the possible multiples are 20, 24, 28.....256
As this is an AP we can find out the number of terms using the formula: Tn=A + (n-1)d
Answer is 60
Or, if you wanted to continue without using a formula, the number of integers between 5 and 64 inclusive is equal to the number of integers between 1 and 60 inclusive (just subtract 4 from the start and end values), which is clearly 60.Brent Hanneson wrote:If you're not good at remembering formulas, then another option is to look for a pattern.
So, we want to know how many terms are in the sequence 20, 24, 28, . . .. 252, 256

Well we have a formula (an easy formula) for finding this.
