From the given equation, we have n2-n2+n3-n3+n5-n5=0 n2+n3+n5=0

where {.} is a F.P.F. But each of the fraction part functions is positive and their sum is zero. Hence each of the fraction part function is zero. Consequently, each of n2,n3,n5 is an integer. The l.c.m. of 2,3,5 is 30. Therefore we can take n = 30k where k is an integer. Hence the number of solutions such that 1n100 is = 3 (viz n=30,60and 90)
