The average of the first 969 natural numbers

Here we will define and show you the formula and the math to calculate the average of the first 969 natural numbers.

The first 969 natural numbers are the whole numbers (integers) that start with 1 and end with 969. To make a list of the first 969 natural numbers, you simply count up to 969.

To get the average of those 969 numbers, you add them up and then divide the sum by 969. 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 = 969 in our formula, we get the average of the first 969 natural numbers. Here is the math and the answer:

avg = ((n × (n + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ n
avg = ((969 × (969 + 1)) ÷ 2) ÷ 969
avg = ((969 × 970) ÷ 2) ÷ 969
avg = (939930 ÷ 2) ÷ 969
avg = 469965 ÷ 969
average = 485
