Greatest integer function
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \lfloor{\ \rfloor}=\normalsize \text{greatest integer function }\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & x \in \mathbb{N} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & \normalsize \text{and }\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & \lfloor{\dfrac{x}{8}\rfloor}=\lfloor{\dfrac{x}{11}\rfloor}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & \normalsize \text{find how many values 'x' can take. }\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
Can you put a restriction on \(x\) ? think of it as \(x\) can not be greater than some positive integer, say \(N\)
value of \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \lfloor{\dfrac{x}{8}\rfloor}=\lfloor{\dfrac{x}{11}\rfloor}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) is same for \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} x< 8\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
good start
sry \(8\le x <11\)
it doesn't satify
now \(11\le x <16\)
If you continue this procedure you can find that \(N\), which I mentioned and all of solutions to the equation
for \(11\le x <16\) it satisfies
