    Solution

    ATQ;
    If a number is a multiple of 4, 8, and 16, then the number is a multiple of the L.C.M of 4, 8, and 16.

    L.C.M of 4, 8, and 16 = 16

    Smallest multiple of 16 between 200 and 800 = 208

    Largest multiple of 16 between 200 and 800 = 784

    Common difference = 16

    Let the required number of terms be 'n'.

    So, 208 + (n - 1) × 16 = 784

    Or, n - 1 = (784 - 208) ÷ 16 = 36

    So, n = 36 + 1 = 37

    So, there are 37 numbers between 200 and 800 which are multiples of 4, 8, and 16.
