(In reply to computer solution by Charlie)

Some numbers were counted that shouldn't have been counted, like 2*31 = 62 or 11*30 = 330.


The answer is actually 178.

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Text1.Text = ""
 crlf$ = Chr(13) + Chr(10)
 Form1.Visible = True
  
  For m = 1 To 12
    Select Case m
      Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12
       fin = 31
      Case 2
       fin = 28
      Case Else
       fin = 30
    End Select
  For d = 1 To fin
   If prod(m * d) = 0 Then ct = ct + 1
   prod(m * d) = 1
  Next
  Next
  Text1.Text = Text1.Text & ct & crlf
 
End Sub
