How would you go about in solving the probability problem if the number is 999 or 1001? Thanks.
if you divide thousand by 8,youll realise that there are 125 multiples of 8 from one to thousand inclusive.hence prob of getting a multiple of 8 125/1000=1/8.if the number is 1001,then prob of getting multiple of 8 is 125/1001(slightly lesser since you have one more number that cant be divisible by 8).similarly if the number is 999,the prob is 124/999.(now there are only 124 multiples).
