The average of the first 585 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 585 natural numbers.

The first 585 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 585. To make a list of the first 585 natural numbers, you simply count up to 585.

To get the average of those 585 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 585. 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 = 585 in our formula, we get the average of the first 585 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((585 × (585 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 585
avg = ((585 × 586) ÷ 2) ÷ 585
avg = (342810 ÷ 2) ÷ 585
avg = 171405 ÷ 585
average = 293
