For each integer n ≥ 1, the ∑100 = S(100) = 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + 100 = 5050, then What is the value of S(200)?

Answer: 20100
Explanation

The formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers is:

S(n) = n(n + 1) / 2

Given S(100) = 5050, let's calculate S(200):

S(200) = 200(200 + 1) / 2

= 200 * 201 / 2

= 100 * 201

= 20100
