Try this solution:
1. Note, that 100 is divisible by 4, and 999 is not divisible by it, only 996. This is an arithmetic sequence.
2. a1;a2;a3;a4;...a(n) the sequence, where a1=100; a2=104; a3=108; a4=112; ... etc., and a(n)=996. n=?
3. using a formula for n-term of the sequence: a(n)=a1+d(n-1), where a(n)=996; a1=100 and d=4 (according to the condition ' is divisible by 4'). Then 100+4(n-1)=996; ⇒ 4n=900; ⇒ n=225 (including 100).
answer: 225
