If X={x:x<7}X = \{x : x < 7\} and Y={y:y is a factor of 24}Y = \{y : y \text{ is a factor of } 24\} are subsets of μ={1,2,3,…,10}\mu = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 10\}, find X∩YX \cap Y.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. XX is the members of μ\mu less than 7: {1,2,3,4,5,6}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}.
  2. YY is the factors of 24 in μ\mu: {1,2,3,4,6,8}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8\}.
  3. The elements in both are X∩Y={1,2,3,4,6}X \cap Y = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6\}, option B.
