Problem Statement:
|
|
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5,
|
|
we get 3,5,6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
|
|
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below N.

|
|
This solution is based on the pattern that the successive numbers in the
|
|
series follow: 0+3,+2,+1,+3,+1,+2,+3.
