These proof demonstrates the Gauss method to solve 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 100 1+2+3+4+...+100 . The formula is n ( n + 1 ) 2 \frac{n\left(n+1\right)}{2} .

If you use this formula as a function, when n n is one of the natural numbers you get the Triangular Numbers.

It's very clear to figure out that these two portions individually expresses 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 which is a sum of algebraic expression with formula

n ( n + 1 ) / 2 \boxed{n(n+1)/2}

It's nothing but a series of nth term natural number............1+2+3+......+n..........so the sum should be: n(n+1)/2............
