Explanation / Answer

For this problem we accept any numbers in the range 1-58 and reject any others
Suppose we start with 00 in the group 00135. 00 is not in the required range 1-58 so we reject it and move on to the next pair of digits, 13, This is acceptable.
Running into the next row comes 52 (00135 27783). This is acceptable. Then comes
77 reject
83 reject

Now we move the row 1 in the next column.
40 accept
80 reject
56 accept (running from row 1 into row 2)

62 reject
18 accept.

Therefore the number of 5 faculty members are
member1:13
member2:52
member3:40
member4:56
