For both b a and a b to be integers, a must be equal to b. Because if a is not equal to b then: If a > b then b a > 1 and a b < 1 . So they cant both be integers. If a < b by the same logic they cant both be integers. So a = b with a > 2 0 and b < 1 0 0 . So, b can take values from 21 to 99. Hence, we have 79 different values of b.
