The average of the first 962 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 962 natural numbers.

The first 962 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 962. To make a list of the first 962 natural numbers, you simply count up to 962.

To get the average of those 962 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 962. 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 = 962 in our formula, we get the average of the first 962 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((962 × (962 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 962
avg = ((962 × 963) ÷ 2) ÷ 962
avg = (926406 ÷ 2) ÷ 962
avg = 463203 ÷ 962
average = 481.5
