Athletes

At the stadium, athletes could enter two-steps, three-steps, four-steps, five-steps, and six-steps. There were more than 100 but less than 200. How many athletes were there?

Final Answer:

n₁ =  120
n₂ =  180

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} 2...\text{ prime number} \\ 3...\text{ prime number} \\ 4=2^2 \\ 5...\text{ prime number} \\ 6=2\cdot 3 \\ LCM(2,3,4,5,6)=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 5=60 \\ a=LCM(2,3,4,5,6)=60 \\ {x}_1=100/a=100/60=\frac{5}{3}=1\frac{2}{3}\doteq 1.6667 \\ {x}_2=200/a=200/60=\frac{10}{3}=3\frac{1}{3}\doteq 3.3333 \\ {n}_1=a\cdot \lceil x_1\rceil =60\cdot \lceil 1.6667\rceil =120 \end{gathered}$$

$n_2=n_1+a=120+60=180$
