Hint 1: Find the total number of multiples of 3 up to 100 first.
Hint 2: Identify which of these multiples are also multiples of 2 (i.e., multiples of 6).
Hint 3: Subtract the count of multiples of 6 from the count of multiples of 3: .
Step 1: The number of positive integers less than or equal to that are divisible by is given by:
Step 2: The numbers divisible by and also divisible by are those divisible by . The count is:
Step 3: The numbers divisible by but not by is the difference:
These are the odd multiples of up to : , which forms an arithmetic progression with common difference .
