Relevant wiki: Arithmetic Progressions

4 + 8 + 12 + . . . + 100 = 4 ( 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 25 ) 4+8+12+...+100=4(1+2+3+...+25)

By Arithmetic Progressions 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 25 = ( 25 ) ( 26 ) 2 = 325 1+2+3+...+25=\frac{(25)(26)}{2}=325

4 ( 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 25 ) = 4 ( 325 ) = 1300 \therefore 4(1+2+3+...+25)=4(325)=1300

4 + 8 + 12 + + 100 4 + 8 + 12 + \ldots + 100 is a sum of an arithmetic progression where

a = 4 d = 8 4 = 4 T n = 100 a=4 \quad d=8-4=4 \quad T_n = 100

We can use the formulas for T n T_n and S n S_n for arithmetic progressions to solve this.

T n = a + ( n 1 ) ( d ) 100 = 4 + ( n 1 ) ( 4 ) n = 25 T_n = a + (n-1)(d) \implies 100 = 4 + (n-1)(4) \implies n=25

Therefore,

4 + 8 + 12 + + 100 = S 25 = 25 2 ( 4 + 100 ) = 1300 4+8+12+\ldots+100 = S_{25} = \dfrac{25}{2}\left(4 + 100\right) = \boxed{1300}
