How many three-digit natural numbers are divisible by 9?
How many three-digit natural numbers are divisible by 9?

Solution:

Three digit numbers in this case are 100 to 999 and the numbers which are divisible by 9 will be given as:
108, 117, 126, 135, …, 999
Here, a = 108, d= 9, l = 999
T(l) = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ 999 = 108 + (n – 1) x 9
⇒ (n – 1) x 9 = 999 – 108 = 891
⇒ n – 1 = 99
⇒ n = 99 + 1 = 100
