The first 5298 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 5298. To make a list of the first 5298 natural numbers, you simply count up to 5298.

To get the average of those 5298 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 5298. 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 = 5298 in our formula, we get the average of the first 5298 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((5298 × (5298 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 5298
avg = ((5298 × 5299) ÷ 2) ÷ 5298
avg = (28074102 ÷ 2) ÷ 5298
avg = 14037051 ÷ 5298
average = 2649.5
