Solution 1: We can check that 1 0 0 = 1 4 × 7 + 2 . Hence, the largest multiple of 7 that is below 100 is 1 4 × 7 = 9 8 .
Solution 2: We can list out all the multiples of 7 as 7 , 1 4 , 2 1 , 2 8 , 3 5 , 4 2 , 4 9 , 5 6 , 6 3 , 7 0 , 7 7 , 8 4 , 9 1 , 9 8 , 1 0 5 … , so the largest multiple of 7 that is below 100 is 98.
Tye answer is ⌊ 7 1 0 0 ⌋ = 1 4 .
7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7..... until I reached 98
We simply check for divisibility by 7 while working backwards from 1 0 0 . 9 9 (Not divisible by 7). 9 8 = 7 × 1 4 So the answer is 9 8
