-
- 7/2 + 19/6 + 37/12 + ..... + 14491/4830
The term is
[n (n+1)*3 +1]/n (n+1)
So 4830 =69*70
Clearly last term is 69th term
Now
Let see the sum pattern
7/2 = 3 + ( 1/1 - 1/2)
19/6 = 3 + (1/2 - 1/3)
So
3 + (1/1 - 1/2) + 3 + (1/2 - 1/3)
3+3 + (1/1 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3)
6 + (1/1 - 1/3)
6+ (2/3)
20/3
So sum format is
3n + [ 1/1 - 1/(n+1) ]
3n + [ n/(n+1) ]
Sum of 69th term
3 (69) + [ 69/70 ]
207 + (69/70)
207 (70) +69 / 70
