What is the sum of all counting
numbers from 1 to 100?
The Secret of Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)

Carl Friedrich Gauss (Prince of Mathematics) is a

German Mathematician who at his very young age
discovered the technique in finding the sum of an arithmetic
series. To keep his students busy, their teacher asked them
to find the sum of the first 100 counting numbers. Carl used
a trick in finding the sum and he was able to do it in a few
seconds only. Do you know his secret?
This is how he did it.
S100 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + 98 + 99 +100 Equation 1
If we write the terms in a reverse order, we can still have the same sum
S 100 =100+ 99 + 98 + 97 + 96 + … + 3 + 2 + 1 Equation 2

Adding equations 1 and 2 vertically, we now have

S100 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + 98 + 99 +100
+ S 100 = 100+ 99 + 98 + 97 + 96 + … + 3 + 2 + 1

2S 100 =101+101+101 +101+ 101+ …+101+101+101

2 S 100 = 100(101)
2S 100 = 100(101)
2 2
S 100 = 5050

The sum of the first 100 counting numbers is 5050.

 We know that the first 100 counting numbers 1, 2,
3, 4, …, 100 form an arithmetic sequence.

The sum of its terms 1 + 2 +3 + 4 + … + 100 is called

an arithmetic series.

What is an arithmetic series?

An arithmetic series is the indicated
sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence.
If 𝑺𝒏 represents the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence, then
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒅 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝟐𝒅 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝟑𝒅 + ⋯ … + 𝒂𝒏 Equation 1
Express in reverse order,
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂𝒏 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝒅 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝟐𝒅 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝟑𝒅 + ⋯ … + 𝒂𝟏 Equation 2
Add the two equations,
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒅 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝟐𝒅 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝟑𝒅 + ⋯ … + 𝒂𝒏
+ 𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂𝒏 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝒅 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝟐𝒅 + 𝒂𝒏 − 𝟑𝒅 + ⋯ … + 𝒂𝟏

𝟐𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂𝟏 +𝒂𝒏 ) + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 + ⋯ … + 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏

𝟐𝑺𝒏 = n(𝒂𝟏 +𝒂𝒏 ) (MPE)
𝟐 𝟐
𝒏
𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂𝟏 +𝒂𝒏 )

Example 1. What is the sum of the even integers
from 1 to 50?

Solution: 2, 4, 6, … 50

a1=2, an = 50, n = 25

Using the formula

S25 = 25(26)
S25 = 650
Now you know the formula in finding the sum of an arithmetic
sequence.
Let us derive another formula.

Substitute in the formula. Thus, in finding the sum of the first n terms
of an arithmetic sequence you may use
either of the two formulas

or

where:

Sn = sum
n = number of
a1 = first term terms
d = common
an = last term
difference
Example 2. What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the arithmetic
sequence 7, 16, 25…?
Since the last term is not given, use the second formula.

a1=7, d=9, n=12, S12=?

S12 = 6[ 14 + (11) 9 ]

S12 = 6 (14 + 99)

S12 = 6 (113)

S12 = 678
Example 3. What is the sum of all multiples of 3 from 24 to 273?

Solution: a1 = 24 an = 273 d= 3 n=? Sn= ?

Step 1. Solve for n using the formula Step 2.
an = a 1 + (n-1)d
Solve for n: an = a1 + (n-1)d
273 = 24 +(n-1)(3) 𝑆84 =
84
(24+273)
2
273 = 24 + 3n - 3
273 - 21 = 3n - 𝑆84 = 42(297)
𝑆84 = 12,474
252 = 3n
3 3
n = 84
The sum of all multiples of 3 from 24 to 273 is 12,474.
Solution:
Using the formula
20
10 = [2𝑎1 + 20 − 1 −5 ]
2
10 = 10 [2𝑎1 + (19)(−5)]
10 10 (2𝑎1 − 95)
=
10 10
1 = 2𝑎1 − 95
1 + 95 = 2𝑎1
96 = 2𝑎1
96 2𝑎1

Example 5.
The DOH recorded the number of dengue patients in a certain province.
There were 8 on the 1st day, 15 new cases on the 2nd day, 22 new
cases on the 3rd day, and so on. If this pattern will continue, how many
dengue patients are there in all at the end of 60 days?

Solution: a1= 8 n= 60 d=7 S60 =?

Using the formula,

S60 = 30 [16 + (59) 7]

S60 = 30 (16 + 413)

S60 = 30 (429)
S60 = 12,870

There are 12,870 dengue patients at the end 60 days.
