Problem
Una rolls 
standard -sided dice simultaneously and calculates the product of the 
numbers obtained. What is the probability that the product is divisible by 
Solution
We will use complementary counting to find the probability that the product is not divisible by 
. Then, we can find the probability that we want by subtracting this from 1. We split this into 
cases.
Case 1: The product is not divisible by .
We need every number to be odd, and since the chance we roll an odd number is 
our probability is 
Case 2: The product is divisible by , but not by .
We need 
numbers to be odd, and one to be divisible by , but not by . There is a 
chance that an odd number is rolled, a 
chance that we roll a number satisfying the second condition (only and work), and ways to choose the order in which the even number appears.
Our probability is 
Therefore, the probability the product is not divisible by is 
.
Our answer is 
.
