What is the definition of a multiple of 7, would you agree that it is un=7nu_n = 7n? :smile:

What value of nn would keep un<100u_n < 100?

Sum up the series for the largest value of n for which the series does not exceed 100.

Sum from 0 to 99 minus your first ans. (I think, not too sure :smile: )

Sum of numbers to a 100 minus the sum of multiples of 7? :smile:
i.e: (1+2+3+4+5+6+...+99)S14(1+2+3+4+5+6+...+ 99) - S_{14}

Can you evaluate the sum of 1+2+3+4+5+...+991 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... + 99 using arithmetic series?

You want to take the sum of all the number that go up to 99, so 1+2+3+4+5+...+991+2+3+4+5+ ... +99 all the way to 99. That however includes number that are multiples of 7, you don't want those. So you subtract the sum of number that are multiples of 7 but are less than hundred (the previous part, you found that there) and you'll get the sum of number to 99 without including the numbers that are multiples of 7. :smile:

You subtract 735 from the sum of 1+2+3+4+5+...+99. :smile:
