A = 1.2+2.3+3.4+......+99.100
Gấp A lên 3 lần ta có:
A . 3 = 1.2.3 + 2.3.3 + 3.4.3 + … + 99.100.3
A . 3 = 1.2.3 + 2.3.(4 - 1) + 3.4.( 5 - 2) + … + 99.100. (101 - 98)
A . 3 = 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 - 1.2.3 + 3.4.5 - 2.3.4 + … + 99.100.101 - 98.99.100
A . 3 = 99.100.101
A = 99.100.101 : 3
A = 33.100.101
A = 333 300
Đặt A = 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + ...+99.100
=> 3A = 1.2.3 + 2.3.3 + 3.4.3 + ... + 99.100.3
=> 3A = 1.2.3 + 2.3.(4-1) + 3.4.(5-2) + ... + 99.100.(101-98)
=> 3A = 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 - 1.2.3 + 3.4.5 - 2.3.4 + 4.5.6 - 3.4.5 + ... + 99.100.101-98.99.100
=> 3A = 1.2.3 - 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 - 2.3.4 + 3.4.5 - 3.4.5 + ... + 99.100.101
=> 3A = 99.100.101
=> 3A = 999900
=> A = 999900 : 3
=> A = 333300
Vậy A = 333300
