The average of the first 1500 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 1500 natural numbers.

The first 1500 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 1500. To make a list of the first 1500 natural numbers, you simply count up to 1500.

To get the average of those 1500 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 1500. We created a formula that can calculate the average of any sequence of natural numbers starting with 1. Here is the formula to calculate the average (avg) of the first n natural numbers:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n

When we enter n = 1500 in our formula, we get the average of the first 1500 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((1500 × (1500 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 1500
avg = ((1500 × 1501) ÷ 2) ÷ 1500
avg = (2251500 ÷ 2) ÷ 1500
avg = 1125750 ÷ 1500
average = 750.5
