Final answer:

To calculate the number of natural numbers below 200 that are divisible by 7, divide 200 by 7 and round down to the whole number, resulting in 28 natural numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of natural numbers below 200 that are divisible by 7, we simply divide 200 by 7 and round down to the nearest whole number. However, we should not include the result of dividing 200 exactly by 7 (if it were a whole number), as the question specifies 'below 200'. The quotient here will indicate how many numbers are evenly divisible by 7 since the number series divisible by 7 starts with 7, 14, 21... up to 196.

Using this method:

200 ÷ 7 = 28.5714...

We round down to get the nearest whole number, which is 28. Hence, there are 28 natural numbers below 200 that are divisible by 7. To double-check, we multiply 28 by 7 and ensure it is less than 200:

28 × 7 = 196

Thus, 196 is the largest natural number less than 200 that is divisible by 7, and there are 28 such numbers in this range.
