The main formula we are going to use here is called the Closed Form.
The sum from 1 to n is n(n+1)/2.
So Let's take the sum from 1 to 43 first. That would be 43(44)/2 = 946.
Notice that in order to get the sum from 17 to 43, we need to subtract off 1 through 16.
So the sum from 1 to 16 is 16(17)/2 = 136
So 946 - 136 =
