Sum and Average
Sum of first 'n' number of natural numbers Choose any set of natural numbers starting with '1'. Multiply the last number to the next number. Then divide the product by two. Example: Sum of first 10 natural numbers = [10(10+1)]/2 = (10*11)/2 = 110/2 = 55 Sum of first 100 natural numbers = [100(100+1)]/2 = (100*101)/2 = 10100/2 = 5050 Proof Sn = n/2(a+l) => Sn = n/2(1+n) => Sn = n(n+1)/2 where, Sn = Sum n = number of terms l = last term = n Average of first 'n' number of natural...
