    Numbers not divisible by odd numbers

    I am stumped on these types of problems. Can someone please provide clarity on how to approach these problems?

    How many positive integers from 2 to 100 inclusive are not divisible by odd integers greater than 1?

    a) 5
    b) 6
    c) 8
    d) 10
    e) 50

    The only numbers not divisible by odd numbers will be powers of 2. (Remember that prime numbers are divisible by themselves and they are all odd except for 2 which is the only even prime).

    So, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 are the only ones.
