Numerical answer
The number of common terms of the arithmetic progressions and is
Show answer and solution
Answer: 14
A common term satisfies and . Writing and testing values with , the smallest is ( and ). Because , the common terms form the AP with common difference . The first progression stops at , so we need , i.e. , giving . The second progression extends to , so is the binding limit. Hence there are common terms.
