The average of the first 355 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 355 natural numbers.

The first 355 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 355. To make a list of the first 355 natural numbers, you simply count up to 355.

To get the average of those 355 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 355. 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 = 355 in our formula, we get the average of the first 355 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((355 × (355 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 355
avg = ((355 × 356) ÷ 2) ÷ 355
avg = (126380 ÷ 2) ÷ 355
avg = 63190 ÷ 355
average = 178
