floor(100/(2x3)) = 16
I like this neat one-liner
We know numbers that can be divided by 2 and 3, can be divided by 6.. Setting up arithmetic progression 6,12,18,... 96. Find the number of terms using the formula
Tn = a + (n-1)d
96 = 6 + (n-1)(6)
n=16
find the largest number divisible by the common multiple of 2 and 3 { 6 } less than 100, which is 96 and divide it by 6 6 9 6 = 1 6 and so we deduce that there are 16 numbers less than 100 divisible by both 2 and 3.
if a number is to be divisible by 2 and 3,then it is divisible by 2x3=6
so the numbers below 100 divisible by 6 are 17 (16 if 0 is excluded)
0,6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90 & 96
number "0" is neutral number, so "0" is excluded.
Nice solution. Did by the same way. @Aman Gautam

If the number is divisible by both 2 and 3 it will be divisible by 6.
1 6 × 6 = 9 6
1 7 × 6 = 1 0 2
So there are 16 numbers under 100 that are divisible by both 2 and 3.
