Question

The number of multiples lie between n and n² which are divisible by n is ______.

Options

• n + 1

• n

• n - 1

• n - 2

Answer 1

The number of multiples lie between n and n² which are divisible by n is n - 2.

Explanation:-

Multiples of n from 1 to n² are n × 1, n × 2, n × 3, …, m× n

∴ There are n numbers

Thus, the number of multiples of n which lie between n and n² is (n - 2) leaving first and last in the given list: Total numbers are (n - 2).
