Find the first term and the common difference calculator

How do you find for the first term number of terms and the common difference of a given arithmetic sequence?

All you need to do is plug the given values into the formula tn = a + (n - 1) d and solve for n, which is the number of terms. Note that tn is the last number in the sequence, a is the first term in the sequence, and d is the common difference.

How do you find the nth term of the first term and common difference?

In general, the nth term of an arithmetic progression, with first term a and common difference d, is: a + (n - 1)d .
