Answer: 378,885

Explanation:

We could just add it all up but there is a simple easy formula :D

n(n + 1)/2 = Sum of Integers

We make n be the biggest number in the sequence. n=870 then

870(870 + 1)/2 = 378,885

Just by using a simple formula, we were able to calculate the sum very quickly.

I hope this helps!
