I would choose c.75 because when I divided 75 by 5 and 15 and 25, I got a whole number for all of them.

Answer: ⇒ C. 75

"The least common multiple of 5, 25, and 15 is 75."

_______________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 5: 1, 5

Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25

Factors of 15: 1, 3,5,15

5*1=5

3*5=15

5²=5*5=25

5²*3=5*5=25*3=75

75 it's the correct answer.

Find the sum of the positive integers less than 200 which are not multiples of 4 and 7

taurus [48]

Answer:

$12942$ is the sum of positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are not multiples of $4$ and not multiples $7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For an arithmetic series with:

$a_1$ as the first term,
$a_n$ as the last term, and
$d$ as the common difference,

there would be $\displaystyle \left(\frac{a_n - a_1}{d} + 1\right)$ terms, where as the sum would be $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \displaystyle \underbrace{\left(\frac{a_n - a_1}{d} + 1\right)}_\text{number of terms}\, (a_1 + a_n)$ .

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) include:

$1,\, 2,\, \dots,\, 199$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $1$ . There would be $(199 - 1) + 1 = 199$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times ((199 - 1) + 1) \times (1 + 199) = 19900 \end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $4$ include:

$4,\, 8,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $4$ . There would be $(196 - 4) / 4 + 1 = 49$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 49 \times (4 + 196) = 4900 \end{aligned}$

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $7$ include:

$7,\, 14,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $7$ . There would be $(196 - 7) / 7 + 1 = 28$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 28 \times (7 + 196) = 2842 \end{aligned}$

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $28$ (integers that are both multiples of $4$ and multiples of $7$ ) include:

$28,\, 56,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $28$ . There would be $(196 - 28) / 28 + 1 = 7$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 7 \times (28 + 196) = 784 \end{aligned}$ .

The requested sum will be equal to:

the sum of all integers from $1$ to $199$ ,
minus the sum of all integer multiples of $4$ between $1\!$ and $199\!$ , and the sum integer multiples of $7$ between $1$ and $199$ ,
plus the sum of all integer multiples of $28$ between $1$ and $199$ - these numbers were subtracted twice in the previous step and should be added back to the sum once.
