When a group of 50 consecutive multiples of 7 is added
the answer is 12075. what's the smallest and the biggest number
Let k the smallest integer such that 7k is the smallest multiple
of 7 such that the sum of the series
7k+(7k+7)+(7k+14)+ ∙∙∙ (to 50 terms) = 12075
Th formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is
, where n=50, a1=7k, d=7
And since S50=12075
Divide both sides by 25
The smallest integer = 7k = 7(10) = 70
The largest integer is the 50th term
Answers: smallest = 70, biggest = 413
