The sum of first n n natural numbers is n ( n + 1 ) 2 \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2} . Hence the answer is 100000 ( 100001 ) 2 = 5000050000 \dfrac{100000(100001)}{2} =\boxed{5000050000} .

( n ) ( n + 1 ) 2 ( 100000 ) ( 100001 ) 2 = 5000050000 \dfrac{(n)(n+1)}{2} \implies \dfrac{(100000)(100001)}{2} = \boxed{5000050000}
