The first one divisible by 11 is  110

And the last one divisible  by 11  is 990

 

So....the total number  =

 

[ 990 - 110] / 11   +  1  =

 

80  +  1   =

 

81

81

 

Solution:

Step 1 : Find the smallest and largest 3 digit numbers

The smallest 3-digit number = 100

The largest 3 digit number = 999

 

Step 2 : 

Let us find number of numbers divisible by 11 from 1 to 999

999/11 = 90.82

Therefore number of numbers divisible by 11 from 1 to 999 = 90

 

Step 3 :

Let us find number of numbers divisible by 11 from 1 to 99

99/11 = 9

Therefore number of numbers divisible by 11 from 1 to 99 = 9

 

Step 4:

Number of numbers divisible by 11 (1 to 999) = 90

Number of numbers divisible by 11 (1 to 99) = 9

Number of numbers divisible by 11 (100 to 999)

                                            = 90 - 9

                                            = 81    

Therefore, the number of three-digit numbers (100 to 999) which are divisible by 11 is 81.
