Question

Find the sum of the given series 45+46+47+...+113+114+115


Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Given

The series is an arithmetic progression.

We can observe that the first term, a=45, d=a2-a1=46-45=1 and an=115

Step 2: Finding number of terms, n

The general form of an AP is,

an=a+(n-1)d

Thus,

115=45+(n-1)·1n-1=70n=71

Thus, number of terms in the series is 71

Step 3: Finding the sum of the series

The sum of an arithmetic progression is given as,

Sn=n22a+(n-1)d

Thus,

S71=7122×45+(n-1)·1=5680

Therefore, the sum of the series 45+46+47+...+113+114+115 is 5680
