Find that sum of first 30 integer divisible by 6.

Open in App
Solution

The numbers that are divisible by 6 are 6,12,18,24,30,36,.......
Where, first term, a=6,
common difference, d=126=6
As we know that the sum of first n numbers in an AP is given by
Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d)........(i)
Substitute n=30,a=6 and d=6 in the above equation(i) to get the required sum.
S30=302[(2×6)+(301)6]
=15[12+29(6)]
=15[12+174]
=15(186)
=2790
Therefore, the sum of first 30 positive integers divisible by 6 is 2790.
