Suppose we write down the smallest positive 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit multiples of 9,8 and 7(separate number sum for each multiple). What is the sum of these three numbers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sum of 2 digit = 48

Sum of 3 digit = 317

Sum of 4 digit = 3009

Total = 3374

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

9, 8 and 7

Required

Sum of Multiples

The first step is to list out the multiples of each number

9:- 9,18,....,99,108,117,................,999

,1008

,1017....

8:- 8,16........,96,104,...............,992,1000,1008....

7:- 7,14,........,98,105,.............,994,1001,1008.....

Calculating the sum of smallest 2 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7

The smallest positive 2 digit multiple of:

- 9 is 18

- 8 is 16

- 7 is 14

Sum = 18 + 16 + 14

Sum = 48

Calculating the sum of smallest 3 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7

The smallest positive 3 digit multiple of:

- 9 is 108

- 8 is 104

- 7 is 105

Sum = 108 + 104 + 105

Sum = 317

Calculating the sum of smallest 4 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7

The smallest positive 4 digit multiple of:

- 9 is 1008

- 8 is 1000

- 7 is 1001

Sum = 1008 + 1000 + 1001

Sum = 3009

Sum of All = Sum of 2 digit + Sum of 3 digit + Sum of 4 digit

Sum of All = 48 + 317 + 3009

Sum of All = 3374
