Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image translates to:
"Calculate the sum of all natural numbers between 1 and 200 that are divisible by 8."
To solve this, we can follow these steps:
-
Identify the sequence of numbers divisible by 8 within the range.
- The smallest number between 1 and 200 that is divisible by 8 is 8 itself.
- The largest number less than or equal to 200 that is divisible by 8 is 200.
So, the sequence of numbers divisible by 8 between 1 and 200 is:
-
Recognize this sequence as an arithmetic sequence.
- The sequence has a common difference of 8.
- The first term .
- The last term .
-
Calculate the number of terms in this sequence.
- The formula for the -th term of an arithmetic sequence is:
- Set , , and :
So, there are 25 terms in this sequence.
-
Calculate the sum of the sequence.
- The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
- Substituting , , and :
Answer:
The sum of all natural numbers between 1 and 200 that are divisible by 8 is 2600.

Here are some related questions to extend your understanding:
- How would you find the sum of all numbers divisible by a different number within a range?
- What changes if the range were larger, such as 1 to 500?
- How do arithmetic sequences help in finding sums quickly?
- What is the sum of all even numbers between 1 and 200?
- How can you verify that a sequence is arithmetic?
Tip: For any arithmetic sequence, knowing the first term, last term, and the common difference allows you to quickly find both the number of terms and the sum of the sequence.
