Question
What is the sum of the natural numbers from l to 100, which are not divisible by 7 and 11?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, calculate the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to 100. The formula to calculate the sum of first n natural numbers is n*(n+1)/2. So, the sum of first 100 natural numbers is 100*(100+1)/2 = 5050.
-
Then, calculate the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to 100 that are divisible by 7. The largest number less than 100 that is divisible by 7 is 98, and there are 98/7 = 14 such numbers. The sum of these numbers is 7*(14*(14+1)/2) = 735.
-
Similarly, calculate the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to 100 that are divisible by 11. The largest number less than 100 that is divisible by 11 is 99, and there are 99/11 = 9 such numbers. The sum of these numbers is 11*(9*(9+1)/2) = 550.
-
However, numbers that are divisible by both 7 and 11 have been subtracted twice. These are the numbers divisible by 77 (since 7*11 = 77). The largest number less than 100 that is divisible by 77 is 77 itself, and there is only one such number. So, add 77 back to the sum.
-
Finally, subtract the sums calculated in steps 2 and 3 from the sum calculated in step 1, and then add back the number calculated in step 4. This gives the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to 100 that are not divisible by 7 or 11.
So, the sum is 5050 - 735 - 550 + 77 = 3842.
