Explanation
If a number of the set S2 is divisible by at least four distinct prime numbers of the set S1, then it will be divisible by their product as well.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 7, i.e. 210 = 3.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 11, i.e. 330 = 2.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 13, i.e. 390 = 1.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 17, i.e. 510 = 1.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 19, i.e. 570 = 1.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 5 and 23, i.e. 690 = 1.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 7 and 11, i.e. 462 = 1.
- The number of numbers in S2 divisible by the product of 2, 3, 7 and 13, i.e. 546 = 1.
numbers in set S1 that divides any of the elements of set S2.
Hence, the required number of elements = 11.

numbers in set S1 that divides any of the elements of set S2.
Hence, the required number of elements = 11.
Why 11? I see you listed 8 elements divisible by 4 or more primes in set S1.
