one formula is \"S%5Bn%5D+=+n%2F2%28a%2Bl%29\" where a is first term and l is last term.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Issue is, how many terms?, well 3,6,9,...,102 is the 3-times table with 34 terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1,4,7,...,100 is the same set of numbers, shunted down by 2... so 34 terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"S%5B34%5D+=+34%2F2%281%2B100%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S%5B34%5D+=+17%28101%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S%5B34%5D+=+1717\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
