Find the sum of all 3 digit natural multiples of 6.
Now the first 3 digit multiple of 6 is 102.
That means, a = 102
And all the nos. Are multiples of 6 which means that they have a difference of 6 in between them so, common difference d = 6
Now, the last 3 digit multiple of 6 is 996.
Now, we know that, Tn = a + (n – 1)d
So, 996 = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 996 = 102 + (n – 1)6
⇒ 6(n – 1) = 996 – 102
⇒ 6(n – 1) = 894
⇒ n – 1 = ![]()
⇒ n – 1 = 149
⇒ n = 150
So, we can say that there are 150, 3 digit multiples of 6
Now sum of these nos. S150 =
× (2a + (n – 1)d)
⇒ S150 =
× (2(102) + (150 – 1)6)
= 75 × (204 + 149 × 6)
= 75 × (1098)
⇒ S150 = 82350
∴ Sum of all 3 digit natural multiples of 6 is 82350.
