The sum of the first 35 natural numbers is 630.
Here's how we calculate that:
We can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
S = n/2 * (a + l)
Where:
- S = the sum of the series
- n = the number of terms (in this case, 35)
- a = the first term (in this case, 1)
- l = the last term (in this case, 35)
So, plugging in the values:
S = 35/2 (1 + 35)
S = 35/2 36
S = 35 * 18
S = 630
Therefore, the sum of the first 35 natural numbers is 630.
