The denominators of this series are of the form 2 n ( n + 1 ) from n = 2 to n = 2 4 . The desired sum is then
n = 2 ∑ 2 4 n ( n + 1 ) 2 = 2 n = 2 ∑ 2 4 ( n 1 − n + 1 1 ) = 2 ( 2 1 − 2 5 1 ) = 2 ∗ 5 0 ( 2 5 − 2 ) = 2 5 2 3 ,
where the last sum telescopes, leaving us with just the first element of the first term and the second element of the last term.
