a) Explanation The integer factors of 500 is 2 2 ⋅ 5 3 . Let A k be the set of positive integers less than or equal to 500 which are divisible by k . The positive integers which are relatively prime to 500 and less than or equal to are those which are not divisible by 2 or 5. 500 − | A 2 ∪ A 5 | = 500 − | A 2 | − | A 5 | + | A 2 ∩ A 5 | | A 2 | = 500 2 = 250 | A 5 | = 500 5 = 100 | A 2 ∩ A 5 | = 500 2 ⋅ 5 = 500 10 = 50 500 − | A 2 ∪ A 5 | = 500 − b) To determine The number ofintegers that are less than 9975 and are relatively prime to 9975.

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
