It is instructive to note that you can rewrite 1+2+3+4....+99+100 as 1+100+2+99+3+98....+50+51 Then you can group each pair of numbers as (1+100)+(2+99)+(3+98)+...+(50+51) All of these couplets add up to 101, and there are 50 of them. Thus the sum of the first 100 whole numbers is 50x101. This can be calculated at 5,050.
Add them up. 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100

Oh, what a lovely math question! If we add 100, 99, 98, 2, 1, and 0.3 together, we get a beautiful total of 300.3. Just imagine each number as a happy little tree in a serene forest of mathematics.
5,050
Sum of numbers from 1 to 100:(1+100) + (2+99) + (3+98) + (4+97) + ... + (49+52) + (50+51) =50 pairs, each pair adds up to 101= (50 x 101)= 5,050
99 + 98 + 97 = 294
297
The median is (98+99)/2 = 98.5

The three consecutive numbers whose sum is 294 are 96, 98 and 100. Also, 97, 98 and 99.

1 + 98 = 99
The integers are 99, 100 and 101. There is also a set of consecutive even integers whose sum is 300. That set is 98, 100 and 102.
