Problem
How many odd positive -digit integers are divisible by
but do not contain the digit
?
Solution 1
Analyze that the three-digit integers divisible by start from
. In the
's, it starts from
. In the
's, it starts from
. We see that the units digits is
and
Write out the 1- and 2-digit multiples of starting from
and
Count up the ones that meet the conditions. Then, add up and multiply by
, since there are three sets of three from
to
Then, subtract the amount that started from
, since the
's ll contain the digit
.
We get:
This gives us:
Solution 2
There are choices for the last digit (
), and
choices for the first digit (exclude
). We know what the second digit mod
is, so there are
choices for it (pick from one of the sets
). The answer is

Solution 3
Consider the number of -digit numbers that do not contain the digit
, which is
. For any of these
-digit numbers, we can append
or
to reach a desirable
-digit number. However,
, and thus we need to count any
-digit number
twice. There are
total such numbers that have remainder
, but
of them
contain
, so the number we want is
. Therefore, the final answer is
.
Solution 4 (easy)
We need to take care of all restrictions. Ranging from to
, there are
odd 3-digit numbers. Exactly
of these numbers are divisible by 3, which is
. Of these 150 numbers,
have 3 in their ones (units) digit,
have 3 in their tens digit, and
have 3 in their hundreds digit. Thus, the total number of 3 digit integers are
, or
