anonymous · Answer

how did you get this??

anonymous · Answer

counting is one way

anonymous · Answer

if a number is a multiple of six it must be divisible by 2 and by 3
if you are starting at 100 first one would be 102 
then every 6th number after that 
102,108,114,...

anonymous · Answer

another way is to say that every 6th number is divisible by 6, and $100\div6=16\tfrac{2}{3}$ so there are 16 of them
