The average of the first 539 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 539 natural numbers.

The first 539 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 539. To make a list of the first 539 natural numbers, you simply count up to 539.

To get the average of those 539 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 539. 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 = 539 in our formula, we get the average of the first 539 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((539 × (539 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 539
avg = ((539 × 540) ÷ 2) ÷ 539
avg = (291060 ÷ 2) ÷ 539
avg = 145530 ÷ 539
average = 270
