What is the difference between the sum of the first (39) natural numbers and (39)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 741

The sum of the first 39 natural numbers is \(S_{39}=\frac{39\times40}{2}=780\). Therefore, the required difference is \(780-39=741\). Hence, 741 is the correct option. Subtracting 39 removes the last term, so the result is also the sum of the first 38 natural numbers, \(S_{38}\). Exam tip: First use \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) to find the sum, then perform the required subtraction.
