7×6=42, 7×16=112, 7×26=182, etc.

The multiples of 7 form a series: 42+70(n-1).

We need to solve for n: 42+70(n-1)<900.

42+70n-70<900,

70n<928,

n<13.26, so n=13 maximum.

42+70×12=882.

So there are 13 numbers divisible by 7 ending in 2:

42, 112, 182, 252, 322, 392, 462,

532, 602, 672, 742, 812, 882.
