How many three-digit numbers are divisible by 17?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a happy little question! To find out how many three-digit numbers are divisible by 17, we can simply divide the largest three-digit number by 17 and see how many whole numbers we get. By doing this, we can see that there are 47 three-digit numbers that are divisible by 17. Just imagine all those numbers lining up like little trees in a peaceful forest!

Answer 2

To find the number of three-digit numbers divisible by 17, we need to determine the range of three-digit numbers that are divisible by 17. The smallest three-digit number divisible by 17 is 102 (17 * 6) and the largest is 986 (17 * 58). To find the count of numbers in this range, we can calculate the number of multiples of 17 between 102 and 986. By dividing the difference between 986 and 102 by 17 and adding 1, we get the total count, which is 57.

Answer 3

The smallest 3-digit multiple of 17 is 102. (6 x 17)

The largest 3-digit multiple of 17 is 986. (58 x 17)

So the number of multiples of 17 that have 3 digits is 58 minus the first five.

That's 53 of them.
