JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2021 - 26th February Evening Shift - No. 15)
The total number of 4-digit numbers whose greatest common divisor with 18 is 3, is _________.
Answer
1000
Explanation
Let N be the four digit number
gcd(N, 18) = 3
Hence N is an odd integer which is divisible by 3 but not by 9.
4 digit odd multiples of 3
1005, 1011, ..........., 9999 $$ \to $$ 1500
4 digit odd multiples of 9
1017, 1035, ..........., 9999 $$ \to $$ 500
Hence number of such N = 1000
gcd(N, 18) = 3
Hence N is an odd integer which is divisible by 3 but not by 9.
