from the nerd kid

the number of numbers have a pattern

1+1+1+2+3+3+4+5+5+6+7+7+..................99+99+100

so use the abraic expression n(n-1)/2
then use An=n(n+1)/difference

Q4.

Q4.  1!+2!+..........................+100!

sum of 1!+.....+6! = 873 as rest of the number will be divisible by 168(2*3*4*7) so divide 873 by 168 you will get 33 as remainder. If you have any doubt then just revert to me.
