The least 3 digit
natural number divisible by 4 is 100 and the largest 3 digit natural number
divisible by 4 is 996.
|
Here , a = 100, d = 4
and tn = 996
|
We know that,
|
tn = a + (n – 1 ) d
|
∴ 996 = 100 + (n – 1 )4
|
∴ 996 – 100 = 4 (n – 1)
|
∴ 896/4 = n – 1
|
∴ 224 = n – 1
|
∴ 224 + 1 = n
|
∴ n = 225
