Find the sum of the multiples of 5 or 3 under 553

For example, if we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

553 -1 =552

552/3 =184 terms

Sum of 184 "3's" =51,060.

 

553 - 3=550

550/5 =110 terms

Sum of 110 "5's" =30,525

\(553\div5=110.6\)

 there is 110 numbers wich is devisible by 5

 

\(553\div3=184.333\)

there is 184 numbers wich is devisible by 3

 

\(553\div15=36.9\)

there is 36 numbers wich is devisible by both 5 and 3

 

now let s find sum of devisors of 5:

\(5+5\times2+5\times3+5\times4\dots+5\times110\\ 5(1+2+3+4\dots+110)\\ 5(55.5\times110)=30\ 525\)

 

sum of devisors of 3:

\(3(92.5\times184)=51\ 060\)

 

sum of devisors of both 5 and 3

\(15(18.5\times36)=9990\)

 

\(30\ 525+51\ 060-9990=71\ 595\)
