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.
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
Positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ....
6 positive integers. 0,1,2,3,4 & 5
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.
