Share how you would approach this problem. It’s OK if your approach is wrong or inappropriate - that’s what we are for.

  1. Take multiples of 2 in interval of 1 to 100 i.e [(100-1)/2] + 1 = 50.5 = 50.5%
  2. Take multiples of 3 in interval of 1 to 100 i.e [(100-1)/3] + 1 = 34 = 34%
  3. I don’t know what to do next…

So here’s a hint multiples of both two and three will be double counted, so maybe we need to take those away.
