First six even positive integers.
The sum of the first three even positive integers is 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.
They are 6 times 8 = 48
6 positive integers. 0,1,2,3,4 & 5
48 = 6 x 8, so the smaller is 6.
First six even positive integers.
The sum of the first three even positive integers is 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 1816 + 1818 + 1820 = 829010
2, 4, 6, 8, ... continue adding 2 at a time, up to 2000.
They are 6 times 8 = 48
Many people would consider 0 to be the first even positive integer, however similar to the neutron in an atom, 0 holds a neutral position. Meaning it is neither a proton (+1) or electron (-1). So our first positive even integer would be 2.2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 = 110, which is the sum of the first ten evenly positive integers.
Positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ....
6 positive integers. 0,1,2,3,4 & 5
The sum of the first 10 positive integers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 is 55. The sum of the first 10 negative integers -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9 and -10 is -55. The sum of the first 10 positive plus the sum of the first 10 negative integers is 0
The sum of the first n positive integers (i.e. 1+2+3+...+n) is given by n(n+1)/2 so the sum of the first 25 positive integers is 1+2+3+...+25 = 25x26/2 = 325. The sum of the first 25 EVEN numbers will be double this i.e. 2+4+6+...+50 = 650.
The positive even integers are: 0 2 4 6 and 8
48 = 6 x 8, so the smaller is 6.
