How many integers between 300 and 700 are divisible by 9?

Published in Number Theory 1 min read

There are 44 integers between 300 and 700 that are divisible by 9.

To arrive at this answer, we can follow these steps:

  1. Find the first multiple of 9 within the range: Divide 300 by 9, which gives approximately 33.33. Round this up to the nearest whole number, which is 34. Therefore, the first multiple of 9 greater than 300 is 34 * 9 = 306.

  2. Find the last multiple of 9 within the range: Divide 700 by 9, which gives approximately 77.77. Round this down to the nearest whole number, which is 77. Therefore, the last multiple of 9 less than 700 is 77 * 9 = 693.

  3. Determine the number of multiples: We need to find how many multiples of 9 there are from 306 (which is 34 9) to 693 (which is 77 9). This is equivalent to finding how many integers there are from 34 to 77 inclusive.

  4. Calculate the number of integers: To find the number of integers between 34 and 77 inclusive, subtract the smaller number from the larger number and add 1: 77 - 34 + 1 = 44.

Therefore, there are 44 integers between 300 and 700 that are divisible by 9.
