Use the formula S = n (n + 1)2 to find the sum of 1  + 2  + 3  + ...  + 385.=

 

.

Use the formula S = n2 to find the sum of 1  + 3 + 5  + ...  + 915. =

Sum    1 + 2 + 3 + ....+  385    =     [ 385] [386] / 2  =   74305

 

Sum  of  first n odds  =  [ ( odd integer + 1 )  / 2 ] ^2  =  ( [ 915 + 1 ] .2 )^2  =

 

( 916 / 2)^2  =  458^2  = 209764
