Solution 1: We can check that 100 = 14 × 7 + 2 100 = 14 \times 7 + 2 . Hence, the largest multiple of 7 that is below 100 is 14 × 7 = 98 14 \times 7 = 98 .

Solution 2: We can list out all the multiples of 7 as 7 7 , 14 14 , 21 21 , 28 28 , 35 35 , 42 42 , 49 49 , 56 56 , 63 63 , 70 70 , 77 77 , 84 84 , 91 91 , 98 98 , 105 105 \ldots , so the largest multiple of 7 that is below 100 is 98.

7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7..... until I reached 98

We simply check for divisibility by 7 7 while working backwards from 100 100 . 99 99 (Not divisible by 7). 98 = 7 × 14 98=7\times14 So the answer is 98 98
