The last two digit natural number divisible by 7is 98

The sequence of numbers 14,21,28,.,98 which is divisible by 7 is an arithmetic progression with1st term 14 and common difference of 7

Step 2 : Finding the number of terms in an arithmetic progression

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given as

an=a+(n-1)d

Here,an=98,a=14,d=7
