What is an Arithmetic Progression?
An Arithmetic Progression or simply AP is a sequence of numbers such that successive terms are obtained by adding a constant number to the first term. That fixed number is called the common difference of the Arithmetic Progression. For example, the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,... is an Arithmetic Progression with first term is 2 and common difference is 3. An AP is a convergent sequence if and only if the common difference is 0, otherwise an AP is always divergent.
How to Calculate Common Difference of Arithmetic Progression given Last Term?
Common Difference of Arithmetic Progression given Last Term calculator uses Common Difference of Progression = ((Last Term of Progression-First Term of Progression)/(Number of Total Terms of Progression-1)) to calculate the Common Difference of Progression, The Common Difference of Arithmetic Progression given Last Term formula is defined as the difference between two consecutive terms of an Arithmetic Progression, which is always a constant, and calculated using the first term, last term and the number of terms in an Arithmetic Progression. Common Difference of Progression is denoted by d symbol.
How to calculate Common Difference of Arithmetic Progression given Last Term using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Common Difference of Arithmetic Progression given Last Term, enter Last Term of Progression (l), First Term of Progression (a) & Number of Total Terms of Progression (nTotal) and hit the calculate button.
