For how many integer values of n does the expression 100/(n - 7) yield an integer?

A. 4
B. 9
C. 12
D. 16
E. 18

We need to determine for how many integers n is (n – 7) a factor of 100.

Since 100 = (2^2)(5^2), 100 has a total of (2 + 1)(2 + 1) = 9 positive factors and a total of 9 negative factors.

Each of the 9 + 9 = 18 factors of 100 could be used to determine a different possible value of n.

For example, if n – 7 = 50, which is a factor of 100, then n = 50 + 7 = 57.

So, there are 18 integers n such that 100/(n – 7) is an integer.

Answer: E

Factors of 100 ..... 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 ...... total 9 factors.....
So.....the [ n-7 ] in [ 100 / n - 7 ] gotta be those factors......
So......if ..... n - 7 = 1 .... Then .... n = 8 ......
If.... n - 7 = 2 .....then .... n = 9......
Like dis....for 9 factors.....we will get 9 value of ....n.....
Buuuut..... -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -25, -50 and -100 are also gonna divide 100 and make.... 100 / n - 7 .... an integer.....
So.....if .... n - 7 = -1 ....then.... n = 6 ......
If..... n - 7 = -2 ..... then..... n = 5 .......
So.... For 9 factors we will get 9 more negative value of.... n ......

So..... Total value of.....n.....9 + 9 = 18 .......
