what %of the numbers are multiples of both 2 and 3
To find the percentage of numbers that are multiples of both 2 and 3, we need to calculate the common multiples of both numbers first.
The multiples of 2 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, ...
The multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, ...
As you can see, the numbers that appear in both lists are the multiples of both 2 and 3. These numbers are: 6, 12, 18, ...
To find the percentage, we need to divide the count of these common multiples by the total count of numbers, and then multiply by 100.
Let's say we want to determine the percentage of numbers from 1 to 100 that are multiples of both 2 and 3.
Count of common multiples: 3 (6, 12, 18)
Total count of numbers from 1 to 100: 100
Percentage = (count of common multiples / total count of numbers) × 100
Percentage = (3 / 100) × 100
Percentage = 3%
So, 3% of the numbers from 1 to 100 are multiples of both 2 and 3.
