Among the positive integers less than 1200,  how many of them are relatively prime  to 60?

60=2^2 .3.5  so we want to know how many numbers  that doesn′t have 2, 3 or 5 as factors   1200−⌊((1200)/2)⌋=600 numbers that are not  divisible by 2 from 1 to 1200  600−⌊((600)/3)⌋=400 numbers that don′t have  factor 3 or 2 from 1 to 1200  400−⌊((400)/5)⌋=320 numbers that doesn′t   have factors 2, 3 or 5 from 1 to 1200  Answer: 320
$$\mathrm{60}=\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} .\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{want}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{know}\:\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{many}\:\mathrm{numbers} \\ $$$$\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{doesn}'\mathrm{t}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{factors}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{1200}−\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1200}}{\mathrm{2}}\rfloor=\mathrm{600}\:\mathrm{numbers}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{not} \\ $$$$\mathrm{divisible}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{1200} \\ $$$$\mathrm{600}−\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{600}}{\mathrm{3}}\rfloor=\mathrm{400}\:\mathrm{numbers}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{don}'\mathrm{t}\:\mathrm{have} \\ $$$$\mathrm{factor}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{1200} \\ $$$$\mathrm{400}−\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{400}}{\mathrm{5}}\rfloor=\mathrm{320}\:\mathrm{numbers}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{doesn}'\mathrm{t}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{factors}\:\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{1200} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Answer}:\:\mathrm{320} \\ $$
