why not just brute force this? one little array contains [a, (a+d), (a+2d), (a+3d), (a+4d) ], which is then filtered so that none of those are multiples of another. Then set a count variable to m-n+1. Check all numbers in range against your little array, decrementing count and breaking out if a

thanks for your reply.. actually i was thinking the same thing.. but I am facing problems in finding the unique multiples of a+3d and a+4d as applying inclusion exclusion principle in this way is getting too difficult due to large no of factors to be added and subtracted.. is der any other

@ashish : here is the generalized equation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion%E2%80%93exclusion_principle note : you need to take LCM of a,a+d,a+2d etc etcwhenever you are dividing to find count On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 2:55 AM, ashish pant asheesh...@gmail.com wrote: thanks for
