What is the sum of the first 10 natural numbers?
  • Step 1: Understand that natural numbers start from 1 and go up (1, 2, 3, ...).
  • Step 2: Identify the first 10 natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, which is n(n + 1)/2.
  • Step 4: Substitute n with 10 in the formula: 10(10 + 1)/2.
  • Step 5: Calculate 10 + 1, which equals 11.
  • Step 6: Multiply 10 by 11: 10 * 11 = 110.
