How many 3-digit numbers are completely divisible 6 ?
149
150
151
166
Answer: Option
Explanation:

3-digit number divisible by 6 are: 102, 108, 114,... , 996

This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996

Let the number of terms be n. Then tn = 996.

a + (n - 1)d = 996

102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996

6 x (n - 1) = 894

(n - 1) = 149

n = 150

Number of terms = 150.

Greatest 3 digit number that is divisible by 6 is 996 (q=166).

The smallest is 102(q=17).
Apply simple number rule to count number of values between 166 to 17,
i.e. 166-17+1=150.

Thus this gives you the number of 3 digits divisible by 6.

Write numbers from sequence 149 to 387 like 149150159.

How many time does 1 occur?

Number is divided by 6 only when it is perfectly divided by 2 and 3 both.

So Only 150 is divided by both 2 and 3.

Divisiablity shortcut for 6 = the number should divide be both 2 & 3.
a. 149 / 2 = no because unit digit is odd.

b. 150 /2 = yes because unit digit ends in 0, then check for 3 -> 150 / 3 = 1+5+0 = 6 = 6/3 = 2, so answer is B.

Please give me a solution for "What is the sum of 3 digits number which is completely divisible by 3, then find the sum".

Amar said:   5 years ago
Lowest 3 digit number which is divisible by 3 is 102.
Highest 3 digit number which is divisible by 3 is 999.
So as per the formula a+(n-1)d=l.
The answer will be 300.

Total 3 digit's nums start from 100 to 999.
So, 999 - 99 = 900,
6)900( 150
900.

So, there are 150 numbers are divisible by 6.

Adding the given three deghit it means =150
1+5+0/6=remander is 0

Hence if the adding number is not same in divedent and remander is not 0.

Total Three digit numbers = 999-100+1 = 900

so numbers Divisible by 6 = 900 / 6 = 150 (Only Quotient ... don't consider the remainder)
