Question

How many multiples of $8$ are between $100$ and $500$?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 50 multiples of 8 between 100 and 500

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to find out the multiple of 8 closest and higher than 100.

......80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120..... It's 104

2. We need to find out the multiple of 8 closest and lower than 500.

....480, 488, 496, 504, 512, 520......It's 496

3. Now, we use 104 and 496, this way:

(496 - 104)/8 + 1 =

392/8 + 1 =

49 + 1 = 50

There are 50 multiples of 8 between 100 and 500
