How many multiples of 4, that are smaller than 1,000, do not contain any of the digits 6, 7, 8, 9 or 0? I really need a answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

We could start by listing multiples of 4 and looking for patterns. Do

you know what a multiple of a number is? It's that number multiplied

by another number. So the first multiple of 4 is 4x1, the second

multiple of 4 is 4x2=8, the third multiple of 4 is 4x3=12, etc.

Let's make a table of multiples of 4 from 1 to 100, with columns A-E

across the top and rows 1-5 down the left-hand side:

A B C D E

1 4 8 12 16 20

2 24 28 32 36 40

3 44 48 52 56 60

4 64 68 72 76 80

5 84 88 92 96 100

Now let's look at these multiples, remembering that there will be nine

more tables like this one from 101-1000.

Let's look for 6,7,8,9, and 0 in the columns first. Aha! We can erase

all of columns B, D, and E because there's a 6 or an 8 or a 0 in each

number in those columns. Now we're left with just:

A C

1 4 12

2 24 32

3 44 52

4 64 72

5 84 92

Now let's look at the rows. Wow! We can eliminate rows 4 and 5 because

they have 6, 7, 8, or 9, leaving:

A C

1 4 12

2 24 32

3 44 52

Just 6 numbers left!

So if from 1-100 there are 6 multiples of four that do not contain any

of the digits 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0, how many multiples of four like this

are there from 1-1000?
