Show that Let S = 1 + 2 + ... + (n - 1) + n S

Question:

Show that 

п(п + 1) |1 + 2 +... + (n — 1) + п %3


Let

S = 1 + 2 + ... + (n - 1) + n 

S = n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + ... + 1 


Add these equations. Then 

25 = [1+ n] + [2 + (n – 1)] + · · · + [n + 1] n terms in brackets

Now, complete the derivation.
