Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the sum of all integers between 1 and 100 that are divisible by 7, let's analyze the sequence of these numbers and calculate their sum.
Solution:
-
Identify the integers divisible by 7 between 1 and 100:
- The smallest integer divisible by 7 in this range is 7.
- The largest integer divisible by 7 in this range is 98.
- So, we have the sequence: 7, 14, 21, ..., 98.
-
Set up the sequence as an arithmetic series:
- This sequence is an arithmetic sequence where:
- The first term .
- The common difference .
- The last term .
- This sequence is an arithmetic sequence where:
-
Calculate the number of terms in the sequence:
- The formula for the -th term of an arithmetic sequence is:
- Set and solve for :
- So, there are 14 terms.
-
Calculate the sum of the arithmetic sequence:
- The formula for the sum of the first terms of an arithmetic sequence is:
- Substituting the values:
Answer:
The sum of all integers between 1 and 100 that are divisible by 7 is 735.
