Q. Sum of all triple digit numbers divisible by 7.
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- The first three digit no. divisible by 7 is 105 & last is 994
so numbers are 105,112,119,...,994
sum=105+112+119+...+994
series is AP with first a=105,d=7,l=994
994=105+(n-1)*7
or 889=(n-1)*7
or 127=n-1
or n=128
so sum=(n/2)*(a+l)
=(128/2)*(105+994)

- The first one is 105, which can be written as 7*15
The last one is 994, which can be written as 7*142
So, a total of 128 numbers
The average is (105 + 994)/2 = 1099/2
So, total is 128 *1099/2 = 64*1099 = 74336
Answer is 74336 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- The first one is 105, which can be written as 7*15
The last one is 994, which can be written as 7*142
So from 105 to 994, 128 numbers are present.
Ans is [(1st number+Last numbber)*Total number]/2
=[(105+994)*128]/2=74336 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- all three digits no. divisible by 7 are 105,112,119......994
the first no. 105=7*15
the last no. 994=7*142
the total no. of three digit numbers divisible by 7 are ((142-15)
+1)=128....(1 is added because both 12 and 142 are also included)
now putting the formula for AP
sum=n/2(a+l)
=128/2(105+994)
=70336

- 105,114.....998
common diff=7
994=a+(n-1)d
994=105+(n-1)7
889+7 = 7n
n=128
sum of these terms=(n/2)*(a+l)
=64*110=70336 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
