Question

What is the fewest number of 7's that can be added together to make their sum greater than 4000

Answer 1

572 7s are needed to be added together

Explanation:

Basically, what we are asked here is the multiple of 7 which is closest to but above 4,000

Then, from this multiple , the number of 7s which are added together to give it is our answer.

By multiplication; 7 * 572 = 4,004

This is the closest multiple of 7 to 4000 which is also above it.

So the fewest number of 7s which we can add together is 572
