What will be the sum of the first (8) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 36

The first 8 natural numbers are 1 to 8. Their sum is found using \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_8=\frac{8(8+1)}{2}=\frac{8\times9}{2}=36\). The value 40 would result from adding 1 to 9 rather than 1 to 8. Exam tip: use \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) for the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers.
