n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1
If the series above equals to B A where A , B are coprime positive integers, then what is the value of A + B ?

Did the same
S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 6 n 1 − 2 ( n + 1 ) 1 + 2 ( n + 2 ) 1 − 6 ( n + 3 ) 1 ) = 6 1 n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n 1 − n + 1 3 + n + 2 3 − n + 3 1 ) = 6 1 ( 1 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 − 2 3 ) = 1 8 1 Using partial fractions
⟹ A + B = 1 + 1 8 = 1 9
Did the same way, sir!
n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) ( n + 3 ) − n n = 1 ∑ ∞ 3 ∗ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) 1 − n = 1 ∑ ∞ 3 ∗ ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1 Only term with n=1 in the red series remain. All other terms cancels out. ∴ 3 1 ∗ n = 1 ∑ 1 n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) 1 = 3 ∗ ( 1 ∗ 2 ∗ 3 ) 1 = B A . S o A + B = 1 + 1 8 = 1 9 .

3 1 ∑ n = 1 ∞ n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1 × { ( n + 3 ) − n }
= 3 1 [ ∑ n = 1 ∞ { n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) 1 − ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) 1 } ]
All the intermediate terms gets cancelled
= 3 1 [ 1 . 2 . 3 1 ] = 1 8 1 .
