The average of the first 559 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 559 natural numbers.

The first 559 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 559. To make a list of the first 559 natural numbers, you simply count up to 559.

To get the average of those 559 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 559. 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 = 559 in our formula, we get the average of the first 559 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((559 × (559 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 559
avg = ((559 × 560) ÷ 2) ÷ 559
avg = (313040 ÷ 2) ÷ 559
avg = 156520 ÷ 559
average = 280
