<p>Hi
what is the fastest and the most accurate answer to this question:
it says How many positive integers less than 1000 are not divisible by 3 :) </p>

<p>Answer is 666.
Reason-1 to 999 are the positive integers under 1000. Of these, 333 are divisible by 3 (3,6,9.12…999).
So, not divisible ones are 999-333=666.
Hope it helps.</p>

<p>Excuse me .
how did you get 333</p>

<p>There are 333 numbers in the set {3,6,9,…,333} (you can divide every element by 3, i.e. {3,6,…,999} has the same # of elements as {1,2,…,333}).</p>

<p>But it will take alot of time !</p>

<p>Ok ok . I understood you perpose .
thaaaaaaaaanx alot :x </p>
