This is a sequence and series based sum. Hence we are using the concept of Arithmetic Progression for solving it.
First Term ( a ) = 108
Common Difference ( d ) = 9
Number of terms = ?
Last term ( l ) = 999
So Using the formula below, we get,
l = a + ( n - 1 ) d
=> 999 = 108 + ( n - 1 ) 9
=> 999 - 108 = 9 ( n - 1 )
=> 891 = 9 ( n - 1 )
=> 891 / 9 = ( n - 1 )
=> 99 = ( n - 1 )
=> n = 99 + 1 = 100 terms
Hence Sum of all terms can be found out by applying the formula:
S ( n ) = n / 2 [ a + l ]
=> S ( 100 ) = 100 / 2 [ 108 + 999 ]
=> S ( 100 ) = 50 ( 1107 )
=> S ( 100 ) = 50058
Hence the sum of all integers divisible by 9 present between 100 and 1000 is 50058.
