wait dammit 1000*999/2 = 499500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

999*1000/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+2+3+4+...........+N =N(N+1)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum _{n=1}^{999} n=499500 \]

@kdrkitty Did you understand it? :)

OpenStudy (aric200):

1+2+3+...+999 999+998+...+2+1 and now add the elements vertically. This will yield 1000+1000+1000+.....+1000, which is just 999*1000 = 999000 Now this is twice the answer we wanted, so just divide by 2. The answer is 499500
