How many two digit numbers are divisible by 7?

Two digits numbers divisible by 7 are:


14, 21, 28, …, 98


Above sequence is clearly an AP, with


First term, a = 7


Common difference, d = 21 – 14 = 7


Let the number of terms be n, then


Last term, an = 98


We know,


nth term of an AP, an = a + (n – 1)d


98 = 14 + (n – 1)7


84 = (n – 1)7


n – 1 = 12


n = 13


Hence, 13 two digit numbers are divisible by 7
