Question 1034630
.
Find the sum of the series 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 11 + ... + 299, which is the sum of the integers from 0 to 300, 
omitting the multiples of 3.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Calculate the sum of all integers from 1 to 300 inclusively.

It is {{{(300*301)/2}}} = . . .     (1)   (calc it yourself)  

(use the known formula for the sum of arithmetic progression.
See the lesson <A HREF=https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Sequences-and-series/Arithmetic-progressions.lesson>Arithmetic progressions</A> in this site).

Next, calculate the sum of the integers from 0 to 300 that are multiples of 3.

It is 3*(1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 100). 

Again, use the formula for the sum of AP.

It is {{{3*((100*101)/2)}}}.          (2)

As a final step, distract (2) from (1).
