Fun trick I learned for adding consecutive numbers (1 to 100, in this case). You find the average of the largest and smallest numbers added together, then just multiply the average by the numbers of terms in the sequence. So, in this case, add the smallest and largest (1+100=101), and find their average (50.5). Multiply that by the total number of terms (100, in this case). So 50.5 x 100 = 5050.

Ah, that's another way to do it. I just knew that 0+100=100, 1+99=100, ..., 49+51=100, so that's 50 terms that equal 100, so that's 5000 plus the 50 that was left over.

I learned it as adding the first and last number then multiply by half of the highest number.

(1+100)* (100/2) = 5050 |

(25+1)×25÷2 = 325

I did this by the AP formula :

n/2[2a+(n–1)d], where 'a' is the first number of the AP, 'd' is the difference between the numbers, and 'n' is the amount of numbers in the AP

I hope you know where the formula comes from! It comes from the description given above, only with the first term (a) and the last term (a + (n-1)d) re-written.

@roleybob why, if someone reads the question correctly, there is allways someone that feels the need to put them down and called them pedantic. (In SOME cases people are being too difficult, but sometimes the question is really asking for something else, where it isnt obvious that a generalisation is used for instant. Like weight and mass, obviously not the same, but you know what is meant)

Charlie Brown is one of the most iconic characters of all time, not just in the US either. It always makes me kind of mad when people on here complain about "pop culture" questions to show that they're intellectuals who only get the scholarly answers. The answers on here are mostly all useless knowledge, so why are the pop culture ones any worse than any others?
