Đặt A = 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + .... + 39.40
3A = 3( 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + .... + 39.40 )
= 1.2.3 + 2.3.3 + 3.4.3 + .... + 39.40.3
= 1.2.3 + 2.3.(4 - 1) + 3.4.(5 - 2) + ... + 39.40(41 - 38)
= 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 - 1.2.3 + 3.4.5 - 2.3.4 + ..... + 39.40.41 - 38.39.40
= 39.40.41
\(\Rightarrow A=\frac{39.40.41}{3}=21320\)
