翻译:桑德斯女士有 3 个孙子(女),他们都会定期给她定期打电话.其中一个孙子每 3天打一次电话,另一个孙子每 4天打一次电话,最后一个孙子每 5天打一个电话.3个孙子在 2016年12月 31日这一天都给她打了电话.那么在下一年桑德斯女士有( )天没有接到任何一个孙子的电话?
本题容斥原理,[3653]=121[\frac{365}{3}]=121,[3654]=91[\frac{365}{4}]=91,[3655]=73[\frac{365}{5}]=73,[36512]=30[\frac{365}{12}]=30,[3653×5]=24[\frac{365}{3 \times 5}]=24,[3654×5]=18[\frac{365}{4 \times 5}]=18,[3653×4×5]=6[\frac{365}{3 \times 4 \times 5}]=6,所以至少有1名孙子打来电话的天数是:
121+91+73−30−24−18+6=219121 + 91 + 73 - 30 - 24 - 18 + 6 = 219(天),无人打来电话的天数是365−219=146365 - 219 = 146(天).
