  • Derivation of the sum formula for an arithmetic progression depends on the the closed sum formula for the first n-1 positive integers. The formula is (First Term + Second Term)n/2 where n is the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence. The primality of 599 ensures that only the first and last terms are natural numbers!
