How many three digit natural numbers are divisible by 7?
Given: Three digit natural numbers.
To do: To find how many Three digit natural numbers are divisible by $7=?$
Solution:
We know that all three digit natural numbers are 100 to 999.
And first three digit number divisible by $7=105$
And if we divide 999 by 7 remainder will be 5.
After subtracting 5 from 999, we have 994.
$\therefore$ 994 is the last three digit natural number divisible by 7.
Therefor the series is $105,\ 112,\ 119,\dotsc \dotsc \dotsc \dotsc ..\ 994$
It is an A.P.
Here first term $a=105$, last term $l=994$, common difference $d=7$
Number of terms $n=?$
And we know that $n^{th}\ term\ a_{n}=a+( n-1) d$
$\therefore 994=105+( n-1) \times 7$
$\Rightarrow ( n-1) \times 7=994-105=889$
$\Rightarrow n-1=\frac{889}{7} =127$
$\Rightarrow n=127+1=128$
$\therefore$ There are 128 three digit natural numbers which are divisible by 7.
