Problem
How many numbers between 
and 
are integer multiples of 
or 
but not 
?
Solution 1
To find the multiples of or but not , you need to find the number of multiples of and , and then subtract twice the number of multiples of , because you overcount and do not want to include them. The multiples of are 
The multiples of are 
. The multiples of are 
So, the answer is 
Solution 2
From 1-12, the multiples of 3 or 4 but not 12 are 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9, a total of five numbers. Since 
of positive integers are multiples of 3 or 4 but not 12, the answer is approximately 
=
