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÷5=110.6

 there is 110 numbers wich is devisible by 5

 

553÷3=184.333

there is 184 numbers wich is devisible by 3

 

553÷15=36.9

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

 

now let s find sum of devisors of 5:

5+5×2+5×3+5×4+5×1105(1+2+3+4+110)5(55.5×110)=30 525

 

sum of devisors of 3:

3(92.5×184)=51 060

 

sum of devisors of both 5 and 3

15(18.5×36)=9990

 

30 525+51 0609990=71 595
