The sum of the first n consecutive natural numbers is:
sum = n(n+1)/2
So if the sum is 500, then:
n(n+1)/2 = 500
⇒ n(n+1) = 1000
Which means that 1000 must have a pair of factors with a difference of 1 if it is possible.
The pairs factors of 1000 are:
1 x 1000
2 x 500
4 x 250
5 x 200
8 x 125
10 x 100
20 x 50
25 x 40
No two are separated by 1, thus the sum is impossible.
