Calculate the nth term and the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence.
| aₙ | – |
| Sum | – |
Use this calculator for a sequence with a constant difference d: 3, 8, 13, 18, … The nth term is aₙ = a₁ + (n − 1) d. The sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n/2 × (a₁ + aₙ).
n must be a positive integer (at least 1). d may be negative (a decreasing sequence) or zero (a constant sequence).
First term a₁: The first term.
Common difference d: Amount added each step.
n: Which term and how many terms to sum (n ≥ 1).
aₙ: The nth term.
Sum: Sₙ, the sum of the first n terms.
