Arithmetic sequences calculator

google play badge app store badge

This online tool can help you find nth term and the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression. Also, this calculator can be used to solve much more complicated problems. For example, the calculator can find the common difference ($d$) if $a_5 = 19 $ and $S_7 = 105$. The biggest advantage of this calculator is that it will generate all the work with detailed explanation.

Examples
ex 1:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 98 + 99 + 100 = ?
ex 2:
The first term of an arithmetic sequence is equal to 5/2 and the common difference is equal to 2. Find the value of the 20th term.
ex 3:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference equal to 7 and its 8th term is equal to 43. Find its first term.
ex 4:
Determine the first term and difference of an arithmetic progression if a3 = 12 and the sum of first 6 terms is equal 42.
ex 5:
The first term of an arithmetic progression is -12, and the common difference is 3 determine how many terms must be added together to give a sum of 1104.

About this calculator

Definition:

Arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where each number is equal to the previous number, plus a constant. The constant is called the common difference (d).

Formulas:

The formula for finding $n^{th}$ term of an arithmetic progression is $\color{blue}{a_n = a_1 + (n-1) d}$, where $\color{blue}{a_1}$ is the first term and $\color{blue}{d}$ is the common difference.

The formulas for the sum of first $n$ numbers are $\color{blue}{S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left( 2a_1 + (n-1)d \right)}$ and $\color{blue}{S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(a_1 + a_n \right)}$.
