Prove that the sum of first n natural numbers is \(n(n+1)\over 2\)

Maths Questions, Series Questions / By mathemerize

Solution :

Let \(S_n\) = 1 + 2 + 3 + ….. + n = \(\sum_{k=1}^{n} k\)

Clearly, it is an arithmetic series with first term a = 1, common difference d = 1 and last term l = n.

\(\therefore\) \(S_n\) = \(n\over 2\) (1 + n) = \(n(n+1)\over 2\)
