Author Topic: Anyone care to tell me the sum of the numbers from 1-599?  (Read 607 times)

I COULD, but I dont want to. The rest of the internet doesnt have it. If you do, ill gift you a cheap steam game. Very cheap.

That's a dumb question. Anyway, I don't have my calculator so I can't do it. Sorry.

Its 179,700.
Hoorey for math.

Formula:
(L squared - F squared + F + L) divided by 2.

L=Last number, F = First number

(599 squared - 1 squared + 599 + 1) divided by 2
= (358,801 - 1 + 599 + 1) divided by 2
= (358,800 + 600) divided by 2
= 359,400 divided by 2
= 179,700.

I think.

I second Fancy Pants's answer. I used the distributive property and got the same thing.

Fancy then shall receive a cheap game then. Im not sure what, but it will be something.
PM for some ideas about what you want. Cheap, or you can ask for nothing :D
