Since 7 and 11 are coprime, the answer must be of the form 7 × 1 1 × N , where N is a positive integer. Since the answer is a 3-digit number, we have 7 × 1 1 × N < 1 0 0 0 . This implies N < 1 2 . 9 … . Hence, the largest 3-digit integer which is a multiple of both 7 and 11 is 7 × 1 1 × 1 2 = 9 2 4 .
Note: It is useful to remember that 1 0 0 1 = 7 × 1 1 × 1 3 .
