There are 199 positive integers less than 1000 that are divisible by 5.
Here's how to determine that number:
- Identify the range: We're looking for numbers greater than 0 and less than 1000.
- Find the largest multiple of 5: The largest multiple of 5 less than 1000 is 995.
- Calculate the multiples: To find how many multiples of 5 there are, divide the largest multiple (995) by 5: 995 / 5 = 199.
Therefore, there are 199 positive integers less than 1000 that are divisible by 5.
