Number of subsets in a set of 8 elements is 2 8 = 2 5 6 .
Subsets not containing a prime number contain only some of the four elements which are not prime numbers, namely 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , or no elements at all.
There are 2 4 = 1 6 subsets in a set of four elements, including the empty set.
The remaining subsets each contain at least one prime number and there are 2 5 6 − 1 6 = 2 4 0 of them.
