To find the sum of the first 1000 even positive integers, you can use a simple formula. The even positive integers can be represented as 2, 4, 6, ..., up to 2000. The formula for the sum of the first n even integers is:

Sum Formula

The sum can be calculated using:

Sum = n × (n + 1)

Applying the Formula

In this case, n is 1000 because we want the first 1000 even integers. Plugging in the value:

  • n = 1000
  • Sum = 1000 × (1000 + 1)
  • Sum = 1000 × 1001

Final Calculation

Now, calculate the product:

Sum = 1001000

Therefore, the sum of the first 1000 even positive integers is 1,001,000.
