Question:
How many 3 - digit numbers are divisible by 7?
Solution:
To Find : 3 - digit numbers divisible by 7.
First 3 - digit number divisible by 7 is 105
Second 3 - digit number divisible by 7 is 112 and
Last 3 - digit number divisible by 7 is 994 .
Given: The AP is $105,112,119$, , 994 $a_{1}=105, a_{2}=112, d=112-105=7$ and $a_{n}=994$
(Where $a=a_{1}$ is First term, $a_{2}$ is Second term, $a_{n}$ is nth term and $d$ is common difference of given $\mathrm{AP}$ )
Formula Used: $a_{n}=a+(n-1) d$
$994=105+(n-1) 7$
$889=(n-1) 7$
$127=(n-1)$
$n=128$
So, There are total of 128 three - digit number which is divisible by 7.
