80-20=60. 60/4=15. 15+1= 16
68
How do you count evens and odds for consecutive multiples
Treat them as multiples of 2
Make sure both end numbers are even for evens and odd for odds
69
How do you count consecutive multiples of exclusive number sets ?
Figure out the ends of the number set. Go up for the first number and down for the last number.
Get the multiple you need by going up from the front and in from the back
Divide by the multiple, then add 1
i.e. for an exclusive set of 99 and 199 the number of odd numbers in the set you do
```
100 to 198 for the end numbers
Round to 101 and 197
197-101=96
96/2=48
48+1=49
```

74
The product of N evenly spaced terms is always a multiple of N!
I.e. if a,b,c, and d are positive consecutive multiples of 5, is abcd a multiple of 12?

77
Are remainders ever negative ?
No
78
How do you solve remainder questions that involve decimals ?
Set the remainder up as a fraction and set it equal to the remainder mentioned in the problem
So do (R/D) = (N/100)
N is the remainder listed in the problem (the decimal ) and D is the divisor
The remainder you are looking for is 100
79
How do you answer the following type of question
If x and y are integers such that (x/y) =53.14, which of the following values could be the remainder when x is divided by y?
Put the remainder value over 100. Reduce it and set it equal to R over the divisor .
I.e. 14/100 = 7/50
So R/y=7/50
So 50 * R= 7 *y
So answer must be divisible by 7
