* Multiples of 3 below 1000 range from 1 x 3 = 3 to 333 x 3 = 999. The average of all these is (3+999)/2 = 501. The total is therefore: 501 x 333 = 166833. * Multiples of 5 below 1000 range from 1 x 5 = 5 to 199 x 5 = 995. The average of all these is (5+995)/2 = 500. The total is therefore: 500 x 199 = 99500. As things stand we have counted the multiples of 15 (which divide by both 3 and 5) twice, so the whole set of them must be subtracted once: * Multiples of 15 below 1000 range from 1 x 15 = 15 to 66 x 15 = 990. The average of all these is (15+990)/2 = 502.5. The total is therefore: 502.5 x 66 = 33165. The grand total is 166833 + 99500 - 33165 = 233168

What is the sum of all the multiples of 3 and 5 below 500?

The sum of all multiples of 3 below 500 is the sum of 3 + 6 + ... + 498 = 41583The sum of all multiples of 5 below 500 is the sum of 5 + 10 + ... + 495 = 24750Depending upon the interpretation of "of 3 and 5", the answer is one of:The sum of all multiples of both 3 and 5 below 500 is the sum of 15 + 30 + ... + 495 = 8415The sum of all multiples of 3 below 500 and all multiples of 5 below 500 is 41583 + 24750 = 66333Since the multiples of both 3 and 5 (that is 15, 30, ...) have been counted twice - once in the multiples of 3 and once in the multiples of 5 - the sum of all multiples of 3 or 5 or both below 500 is 41583 + 24750 - 8415 = 57918I have emphasised the word below with regard to 500 since 500 is a multiple of 5, but 500 is not below (less than) itself, that is the multiples are of the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 499. If the question was intended to mean less than or equal to 500, add an extra 500 to the multiples of 5 above, making the sum of the multiples of 5 be 25250 and the final sums (1) 8415, (2) 66833, (3) 58418.


What are the multiples of 187?

The answer given below is incorrect: 1 is NOT a multiple of 187. It is a factor, and that is a very different thing. Multiples of 187 are members of the infinite set of numbers of the form 187*k where k is an integer. Since the set is infinite, it is not possible to list them..

How many natural numbers below 1000 can be written as difference of squares of two natural numbers?

All but 251 of them. Any odd number greater than 1 can be written in the form 2n + 1 where n = 1,2,3,... then 2n+1 = (n + 1)2 - n2 Any multiple of 4 can be written as 4n where n = 1,2,3,... then 4n = (n + 1)2 - (n - 1)2 However, unless you allow 1 = 12 - 02 1 cannot be so written as a difference of two squares and odd multiples of 2 cannot be so written. So that is the number 1 and 250 odd multiples of 2: 251 numbers in all. 1 cannot be so written.


How many natural numbers below 660 are divisible by 5 and 11 but not by 3?

8 of the numbers less than 660 are divisible by 5 and 11 but not 3. All numbers divisible by 5 and 11 are multiples of their lcm; lcm(5, 11) = 55 All numbers divisibile by 5, 11 and 3 are multiples of their lcm; lcm(5, 11, 3) = 165 659 ÷ 55 = 11 54/55 → 11 numbers less than 660 are divisible by 5 and 11 659 ÷ 165 = 3 164/165 → 3 numbers less than 660 are divisible by 5, 11 and 3 → of the 11 numbers less than 660 divisible by 5 and 11, 3 are also divisible by 3 → 11 - 3 = 8 numbers less than 660 are divisible by 5 and 11 but not 3,.
