Question 2 151 Refer to the method that Gauss used to determine the sum of the first co natural numbers (show
below) and answer the following questions:
1 + 2 + 3+ 4+ ... + 29 + 30 60 + 59 +58 +57 + ... + 32 +31
61 +61 +61 +61 + ... +61 + 61
2.1. The answer to the problem can thus be obtained by the product of two numbers. Study the
pattern carefully. What two numbers do you think must be used to determine the product? (2)
2.2. Determine the sum of the first 60 natural numbers.
