About ~のうち(で)
Coming from the noun 内 'within', のうち is a grammar pattern that appears after nouns or numbers, in order to signify 'amongst (A)' in the same way as の中. Like の中, のうち is often followed by で. However, it can also be followed by の when attached directly to another number.
The noun specified by の内 may represent a range or a limit, and is not limited to appearing with numbers. Like の中, it may also appear followed by から in place of で.
のうち is far less common than のなか when specifying 'amongst', due to this, のなか will be the preferred (more natural) option in speech. Additionally, although coming from 内, the kanji form is far less common than plain hiragana.
