Proportion of Sums Formula - cFerg A = Consecutive Numbers B = Sum of Numbers A B 1 1 2 3 3 6 4 10 5 15 6 21 7 28 8 36 9 45 1 = 1 1 + 2 = 3 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 ... B = (A/2) * (A-1) + A Example: A = 4 B = (4/2) * (4-1) + 4 B = (2) * (3) + 4 B = (6) + 4 B = 10
Variants of B:
B = (A * (A+1)) / 2
B = (A/2) * (A+1)
B = A * ((A+1) / 2)
