    Solution

    Smallest multiple of 7: 7 Largest multiple of 7 less than 500: 7 ├Ч 71 = 497 So series: 7, 14, ..., 497 is an AP with a = 7, d = 7, last term l = 497 Number of terms n: l = a + (nтИТ1)d тЗТ 497 = 7 + (nтИТ1)7 497 тИТ 7 = 7(n тИТ 1) тЗТ 490 = 7(n тИТ 1) n тИТ 1 = 70 тЗТ n = 71 Sum = n/2 ├Ч (first + last) = 71/2 ├Ч (7 + 497) = 71/2 ├Ч 504 = 71 ├Ч 252 = 17,892.
