I found this scratching away on a piece of cardboard today. I thought I might troll the board and see what people think. Bare with me for I sometimes have trouble expressing what's in my head in words.
As follows:
Take the highest whole number median of an odd integer x and multiply it by said integer and the answer is equal to the sum of the counting number integers between 1 and x included 1 and x.
Example:
Assume x = 17
Highest median of 17 = 9
9 * 17 = 153
1+2+3+4+...+15+16+17 = 153
I've also found this works for even numbers assuming median + (1/2)(or -1/2 if integer x is negative).
Its a lot of blah blah blah and I don't see any applications, perhaps even missing something blatantly obvious(it is rather late after all). Share what you think. Thanks for reading.
