There are 901 numbers between 100 and 1000 inclusive.
To determine this, we need to consider what "inclusive" means in this context. Inclusive means we include both the starting number (100) and the ending number (1000).
Here's a breakdown:
- The first number: 100
- The last number: 1000
To find the total number of integers in this range inclusive, we subtract the first number from the last number and add 1.
1000 - 100 + 1 = 900 + 1 = 901
The reference states, "there are 899 numbers between 100 and 1000". This is incorrect if we are looking for the number of integers inclusive of 100 and 1000. The reference is calculating how many numbers are between 100 and 1000 and not including 100 and 1000 in the range.
Therefore, by correct application of logic, the answer of 901 is derived.
