The average of the first 5901 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 5901 natural numbers.

The first 5901 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 5901. To make a list of the first 5901 natural numbers, you simply count up to 5901.

To get the average of those 5901 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 5901. 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 = 5901 in our formula, we get the average of the first 5901 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((5901 × (5901 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 5901
avg = ((5901 × 5902) ÷ 2) ÷ 5901
avg = (34827702 ÷ 2) ÷ 5901
avg = 17413851 ÷ 5901
average = 2951
