>>11910291This is just a huge sum really!
n
sum of (n+1)
i=1
If we say that a year is = 365 days, and there is (60 x 24 x 365) = 525600 minutes in a year,
then n =525600
The sum can be split into two parts, the sum of n and the sum of 1, the sum of the n part is n(n+1) /2 , or (n^2 + n) / 2
Subsituting 525600 for n, (525600^2 + 525600) /2
= 1.381279428 x 10^11
For the +1 part, that is just n or 525600 (as you're just counting 1 n many times)
Adding the two together, we get a value of
1.381284684 x 10^11
Or
138,128,468,400 times
So yeah your answer was correct OP!
