if u say 3 or 6 then the answer is 133.
as 6 is divided by 3, so the common multiple between 6 and 5 will be cancelled. They r 33 numbers who are divided by both 5 and 6. And there are 166 numbers who are divided by both 3 and 6. So the answer is 166-33=133

but if u say either 3 or 6 then the answer is 267.
