Find the Sum of those integers from 1 to 500 which are multiples of 2 as well as of 5.
Since, multiples of 2 as well as of 5 = LCM of (2, 5) = 10
Multiples of 2 as well as of 5 from 1 and 500 is 10, 20, 30, …., 500.
Clearly this is an AP with common difference, d = 10
And first term, a = 10
Let the no if terms in this AP are n
Then,
an = a + (n - 1)d
500 = 10 + (n - 1)10
490 = (n - 1)10
n - 1 = 49
n = 50
now, Sum of this AP
[ as last term is given]
= 25[ 10 + 500]
= 25(510)
= 12750
