if u r counting the multipules of a number in a larger range, i think u could do this. if you're finding how many multiples of x is in between y and z
first find the smallest number that's divisible by x that's greater than the smaller number, y. let's say this number is a
then find the greatest number that's divisible by x that's less than the bigger number, z. let's say this number is b
divide both a and b by x
last, count how many numbers in between a and b. basically ( b - a )+1

if y and/or z are divisible by x, then just add them in after
