Use of "the" (#2)

0Dear professional English teachers,02br
02br
00I just do not understand how English native speakers use/do not use "the" in some situations (sentences). For example, in the following Example-1, 01u00is it wrong if I put "the" in front of the word "page"?02u02br
02br
00(Example-1)02br
00Have you reached 01u00page02u00 100 yet?02br
02br
00Also, in the second example below, 01u00is it wrong if I changed the article "a" to "the"?02u00 Should I consider the part of the sentence "has a daily circulation of" something like a phrase? (Thus, "the" is wrong to use in this case?)02br
02br
00(Example-2)02br
00This newspaper has 01u00a02u00 daily circulation of 1,000.02br
02br
00Someone, please help me understand clearly.0-
