Number TheoryEasy
What is the sum of all two-digit numbers that give a remainder of 3 when they are divided by 7?
Answer & solution
Correct answer: 676
- A
666
676
- C
683
- D
777
Solution
Any number that gives a remainder of 3 when divided by 7 will be of the form 7k + 3.
Since we only need two-digit numbers, k will range from 1 to 13 {where 7(1) + 3 = 10 and 7(13) + 3 = 94}
Sum of all these numbers =
= 13 × 3 + 7(1 + 2 + ... + 13)
= 39 +
= 39 + 637 = 676
Hence, option (b).
