There are 128 numbers between 100 and 999 that are divisible by 7.
This can be calculated using the following method:
-
Find the smallest three-digit number divisible by 7: The smallest three-digit number is 100. Dividing 100 by 7 gives a quotient of 14 with a remainder of 2. Therefore, the smallest three-digit number divisible by 7 is 105 (7 x 15).
-
Find the largest three-digit number divisible by 7: The largest three-digit number is 999. Dividing 999 by 7 gives a quotient of 142 with a remainder of 5. Therefore, the largest three-digit number divisible by 7 is 994 (7 x 142).
-
Calculate the number of multiples: The number of multiples of 7 between 105 and 994 (inclusive) can be found by subtracting the smallest from the largest, dividing by 7, and adding 1 (to include both endpoints): (994 - 105) / 7 + 1 = 128
