Find the sum of all integers between 84 and 719, which are multiples of 5.
Find the sum of all integers between 84 and 719, which are multiples of 5.
In this problem, we need to find the sum of all the multiples of 5 lying between 84 and 719.
So, we know that the first multiple of 5 after 84 is 85 and the last multiple of 5 before 719 is 715.
Also, all these terms will form an A.P. with the common difference of 5.
So here,
First term (a) = 85
Last term (l) = 715
Common difference (d) = 5
So, here the first step is to find the total number of terms. Let us take the number of terms as n.
Now, as we know,
$a_{n}=a+(n-1) d$
So, for the last term,
$715=85+(n-1) 5$
$715=85+5 n-5$
$715=80+5 n$
$715-80=5 n$
Further simplifying,
$635=5 n$
$n=\frac{635}{5}$
$n=127$
Now, using the formula for the sum of n terms,
$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$
We get,
$S_{n}=\frac{127}{2}[2(85)+(127-1) 5]$
$=\frac{127}{2}[170+(126) 5]$
$=\frac{127}{2}(170+630)$
$=\frac{127(800)}{2}$
On further simplification, we get,
$S_{n}=127(400)$
$=50800$
Therefore, the sum of all the multiples of 5 lying between 84 and 719 is $S_{n}=50800$.
