Calculateur de Geometric Series Sum
Calculate the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Sum directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Sum:
(() => { const sum=ratio===1 ? firstTerm × n : firstTerm × (1-ratio^(n)) ÷ (1-ratio); return Number.isFinite(sum) ? sum : NaN; })()
Variables and parameters
- First term (a) (firstTerm): default value 2.
- Common ratio (r) (ratio): default value 3.
- Number of terms (n): default value 5.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
