Let X be the set consisting of the first 2018 terms of the arithmetic progression 1,6,11, , and Y be the set consisting of the first 2018 terms of the arithmetic progression 9,16,23,  . Then, the number of elements in the set XY is___.

Solution

X:1, 6, 11, ,10086
Y:9, 16, 23,.,14128
XY:16, 51, 86,..
Let m=nXY
  16+m-1×3510086
  m288.71
  m=288
  nXY=nX+nY-nXY
=  2018+2018-288=3748
