How many numbers are between 773 and 1000?

Let's start with an easier problem. If you want to know how many numbers are between 1 and 7, then you have 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 which is 5 numbers. If you subtract 1 from 7, then you have 6 numbers. So, to get the final answer you subtract the two original numbers and then subtract one more. In our example, 7 - 1 = 6 and 6 - 1 = 5, so the answer is 5 numbers between 1 and 7. For the given example, take 1000 - 773 to get 227, then subtract one more. So, there are 226 numbers between 773 and 1000.
