22+33+44+...+451+462+473 = 11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43)

11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43) = 11(1+2+3+4+...+41+42+43-1)

11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43) = 11((43(43+1))/2-1)

11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43) = 11(946-1)

11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43) = 11(945)

11(2+3+4+...+41+42+43) = 10395

Answer: 22+33+44+...+451+462+473 = 10395

The first term is 22 and we can find the last term by dividing by , getting So or is the last term. The multiples of are apart, so we have an arithmetic sequence for which the common difference, is . The formula for the sum which we need is this: where is the first term and is the last term. But we need , so we first need the formula for the nth term: No we can substitute where , and Edwin
