Finding Numbers Divisible by 21, 35, and 63 Less Than 10000
To find the count of numbers less than 10000 that are divisible by 21, 35, and 63, we first need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of these three numbers. A number divisible by all three must be a multiple of their LCM.
Calculating the LCM
First, find the prime factorization of each number:
- $21 = 3 \times 7$
- $35 = 5 \times 7$
- $63 = 3^2 \times 7$
The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor present in any of the factorizations:
LCM$(21, 35, 63) = 3^2 \times 5 \times 7 = 9 \times 5 \times 7 = 315$
Counting Multiples Less Than 10000
We need to find how many multiples of 315 are less than 10000. Let the number of multiples be $n$. We are looking for the largest integer $n$ such that:
$ n \times 315 < 10000 $To find $n$, we divide 10000 by 315:
$ n < \frac{10000}{315} $ $ n < 31.746... $The largest whole number less than 31.746... is 31. Therefore, there are 31 multiples of 315 that are less than 10000.
Conclusion
There are 31 numbers less than 10000 that are exactly divisible by 21, 35, and 63.
