The average of the first 343 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 343 natural numbers.

The first 343 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 343. To make a list of the first 343 natural numbers, you simply count up to 343.

To get the average of those 343 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 343. 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 = 343 in our formula, we get the average of the first 343 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((343 × (343 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 343
avg = ((343 × 344) ÷ 2) ÷ 343
avg = (117992 ÷ 2) ÷ 343
avg = 58996 ÷ 343
average = 172
