Utilize our Harmonic sequence calculator tool for finding the sum of n terms of harmonic sequence when n=11, a=4, and d = 3 easily and quickly. So that you will get the result of 1/209.0.

First term [a]:
common difference[d]:
Total terms[n]:

Sum of first 11 terms of Harmonic Sequence of a = 4, n=11, and d=3 is 0.88441

Steps to find sum of n terms of harmonic sequence:

sum of n terms of harmonic sequence formula:-

Sn = `(1/d)*ln( (2*a+(2*n-1)*d)/(2*a-d) )`

where:

  • sn is the sum of n terms
  • a is first term
  • n is total number of terms
  • d is common difference

Input values are:-

a = 4

n = 11

d = 3

Put values into formula

S11 = `(1/d)*ln( (2*a+(2*n-1)*d)/(2*a-d) )`

S11 = `(1/3)*ln( (2*4+(2*11-1)*3)/(2*4-3) )`

S11 = 0.88441

Following are the step by step process to find the sum of N terms in a harmonic sequence easily by hand.

  • Firstly, Write down the values that were given in the problem, such as a = 4, n=11, and d=3.
  • As we know that arithmetic progression is the reciprocal of harmonic progression.
  • Apply the formula of sum of n term of Arithmetic Progression, i.e., Sn = n/2[2a + (n − 1) × d]
  • Substitute the values in the formula, i.e., Sn = 11/2[2*4 + (11 − 1) × 3].
  • Simplify the equation, i.e., Sn = 11/2[2*4 + (11-1) × 3] = 209.0
  • At last , the sum of n terms of Arithmetic progression is 209.0.
  • Finally, the result of sum of n terms of Harmonic sequence is 1/209.0
