The sum of a geometric sequence is a(1-rn)/(1-r) In this case, a = 8, r = -2 and n=15 So the sum is 8(1-(-2)15)/(1+2) =8(1+32768)/3 =87,384 So the sum of the first 15 terms of the sequence 8, -16, 32, -64.... is 87,384.
LCM(15, 17, 45) = 765

The sum of the first 5 numbers is 15. 1+2+3+4+5=15
The sum of the first 15 positive even numbers is 240. (Simply square 15, then add 15 to the result: 15 x 15 = 225. 225 + 15 = 240).
