Is there a shortcut method to working out the sum of n consecutive positive integers?
Firstly, starting at 1...1+2+3+4+5=15.
Secondly, starting at any other positive integer ...(10 e.g.): 10+11+12+13=46.
Answer
Take the average of the first number and the last number, and multiply by the number of numbers.
