How do I get the program to display the sum of the values divisible by 5, versus just the values themselves?

The program asks that a method be created. The method takes two parameters: start and end, both integers. The method must sum all of the numbers between start and end that are divisible by 5. For example, if start is 1 and end is 30, the answer must be 105, since 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 = 105 are the numbers that are divisible by 5 and belong to the range of 1 and 5.

import java.util.*;

public class Divisor{

  public static void main(String[] args){

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Enter a start: ");
    int start = input.nextInt();

    System.out.print("Enter an end: ");
    int end = input.nextInt();

    int result6 = sumDivisor(start, end); 
    System.out.println(result6);

}

 public static int sumDivisor (int start, int end){
    int value = end;
    for(int i = 5;i <= end;i = i + 5){
      value = i;
      System.out.print(i + " ");      
    }
    return value;
  }
 }

You also have to take into account the situation where your start argument is not divisible by 5:

public static int sumDivisor (int start, int end){
int value = 0;
    while (start % 5 != 0) {            
        start++;
    }
for(int i = start;i <= end;i += 5){
  value += i;    
}
return value;

}

Instead of returning the last number, start it at 0 and add every number fulfilling your condition to it.
