Question Number 215999 by lmcp1203 last updated on 25/Jan/25
if the fraction ((m^2 +25m)/(m+1))  is reductible. how many values does m  take if is a 2 digit  number? thanks

((m^2 +25m)/(m+1))=m+24−((24)/(m+1))  ⇒gcd(m^2 +25m,m+1)=gcd(24,m+1)  ((m^2 +25m)/(m+1)) is reducible when (24,m+1)≠1  That is when m+1 contains either 3 or 2 as a  prime factor  Cardinality of such numbers:  ⌊((99)/3)⌋+⌊((99)/2)⌋−⌊((99)/6)⌋−(⌊(9/3)⌋+⌊(9/2)⌋−⌊(9/6)⌋)  =33+49−16−3−4+1=60
$$\frac{\mathrm{m}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{25m}}{\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}}=\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{24}−\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{m}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{25m},\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{24},\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{m}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{25m}}{\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{reducible}\:\mathrm{when}\:\left(\mathrm{24},\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}\right)\neq\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{That}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{when}\:\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{contains}\:\mathrm{either}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{prime}\:\mathrm{factor} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Cardinality}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{such}\:\mathrm{numbers}: \\ $$$$\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{99}}{\mathrm{3}}\rfloor+\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{99}}{\mathrm{2}}\rfloor−\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{99}}{\mathrm{6}}\rfloor−\left(\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{3}}\rfloor+\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{2}}\rfloor−\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{6}}\rfloor\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{33}+\mathrm{49}−\mathrm{16}−\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{60} \\ $$
