Your question does not make sense.

Very poorly worded question !

 

I think what you want to say is:

 

What consecutive integers between 0 and 10,000 sum up to: 645,645 ?

 

The answer is: all integers between 19 (inclusive) and 1,136 (inclusive) =645,645

 

645,645 mod 77 =0 - the remainder.

S = 77 + 154 + 231 + ... = 1*77 + 2*77 + 3*77 + ...

10,000/77 = 129.87

129*77 = 9933

130*77 = 10,010

S = 1*77     + 2*77     + 3*77     + ... + 129*77

S = 129*77 + 128*77 + 127*77 + ... + 1*77

Add

2S = 130*77 + 130*77 + 130*77 + ... + 130*77

     = 129*130*77

S  =  129*130*77/2 = 645645.
