Sir/Mam, i want to find all the solutions of the equation: floor(x/5) - floor(x/7) = 1 ;where x belongs to Natural Number, so how can i find all its solutions in Matlab? with Thanks

@Sourav: This is not a link. John inserts his name and email address several times in each of his messages. He includes the mail address in < and > characters, such that they are displayed as a link in the forum, which is confusing.
The idea of the forum is to solve problems in public and you do not have to contact contributors personally by email.

Okay, if this is not a homework, than you find enough information here to solve the problem already. I summarize:
  • Matt J showed, that the results must be 0 <= x <= 35.
  • You can easily check all values:
x = 0:35;
match = (floor(x / 5) - floor(x / 7) == 1);
result = x(match)
And here you get your 17 values.

As I mentioned, the solutions are going to be uncountable because F(x) = floor(x/5) - floor(x/7) is a piecewise constant function of x. However, from a little analysis, we know that they must lie in the interval [0,35]. To see this, note that we have the bounds
x/5-x/7 +1 >= floor(x/5) - floor(x/7) >= (x/5-x/7)-1
The upper bound is less than 1 for all x<0 and the lower bound is greater than 1 for all x>35.
Also, F(x) can only change value at multiples of 5 or 7. So, the solution reduces to a search over
xSet=sort([0:5:35, 0:7:35]);
Once you find the subset of solutions xCritical,
xCritical = xSet( floor(xSet/5)-floor(xSet/7) ==1 )
it is a simple matter to look at the full intervals bounded by xSet to see which ones constitute solutions.

@Matt J: I did not see your 2nd last comment, when I typed mine.
I thought about more complicated functions, when a search over all numbers is impossible, and then I've overseen, that this looks like a homework.
I've removed my answer and comment. +1 for yours, with the constraint the "the solution reduces to a search over [xSet]" sounds like this is the full set of results.

What should we look for in that plot to locate the places where floor(x/5) -f loor(x/7) == 1 ?
