Sk = 1 + 2 + 3 + .. + k
Sk = k + k-1 + ..+ 2 + 1
=> 2Sk = (1+k) + (1+k) +.. + (k+1) = k(k+1)
=> Sk = k(k+1)/2
S 1 = 1 ; S2 = 1+2, S3 = 1+2+3, ...
tổng cần tính có dạng: T = S1 + S2 + S3 + ... + S100
T = 1(1+1)/2 + 2(1+2)/2 + 3(1+3)/2 + 4(1+4)/2 +... + 100(1+100)/2
2T = 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + 4.5 +... + 100.101 (1*)
S101 = 101(102)/2 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +...+ 101
=> 101.102/2 - 1 = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +... + 101 (2*)
lấy (1*) + (2*):
2T + 101.102/2 - 1 = 2+1.2 + 3+2.3 + 4+3.4 +..+ 101+100.101 =
= (1+1).2 + (1+2).3 + (1+3).4 +..+ (1+100).101
2T + 101.51 - 1 = 2² + 3² + 4² + ... + 101²
2T + 101.51 = 1² + 2² + ..+ 101² = 101.102.203 /6
=> T = 171700
