How to Calculate Multiples Within a Specific Range?

[trigger352]

What equation should I use? Are there terms and information that is 'hidden'?

There are two questions that are very simmilar I'll only post one and try the second one myself.

"How many multiples of 6 are there between 65 and 391?"

 

[Gale]

the first multiple of 6 after 65 is obviously 66 which is 6x11, then you divide 391 by 6 find out what the last multiple in the range is, and by what you have to multiply 6 by to get it. Then subtract 11 from the factor that gets you closest to 391 to find out how many multiples are in your range. hope that was clear enough...

To solve this problem, you can use the equation: (391 - 65)/6 + 1 = 55

This equation takes into account the range of numbers (391-65) and divides it by the multiple (6). The +1 is added to account for the starting number of 65. This equation is commonly used for finding the number of multiples within a given range.

As for hidden terms or information, it is important to pay attention to the wording of the question. In this case, the word "between" indicates that the starting and ending numbers are not included in the count. So, while the range is from 65 to 391, the actual count is from 66 to 390. It is always important to carefully read and understand the question before using an equation to solve it.
