Find the sum of the first 40 positive integers divisible by 6.

Given:

First 40 positive integers divisible by 6.

To do:

We have to find the sum of the first 40 positive integers divisible by 6.

Solution:

First 40 multiples of 6 are $6,12,18,24, \ldots, 240$

Here,

$a=6, d=6$ and $l=240$

$\mathrm{S}_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

$\mathrm{S}_{40}=\frac{40}{2}[2 \times 6+(40-1) \times 6]$

$=20[12+39 \times 6]$

$=20[12+234]$ $=20 \times 246$

$=4920$

The sum of the first 40 positive integers divisible by 6 is 4920.
