5050............the sum of the 1st 100 numbers...........50 + 50 = 100..............fractal patterns...........taken in halves..................4 numbers....................2 + 2 = 4..............2 * 2 = 4........................50 is halfway to 100.............from 0........................1060.............the sum of all primes less than 100......60 - 10 = 50............................1060............somewhat similar to 1.618.....................the gold ratio..........fractal patterns.........and symmetry.........and a prime......and the number 2................101 pairs.........101 is prime.........pairs...........like 2.............







5050 is the sum of the numbers......0 - 100............and 1 - 100...............between 0 and 1......is one half................1/2 = 0.5......................50 backwards.............reflex sym.......


What is the sum of the first 100 whole numbers? Gauss noticed that if he was to split the numbers into two groups (1 to 50 and 51 to 100), he could add them together vertically to get a sum of 101. Gauss realized then that his final total would be 50(101) = 5050
