16383 is the sum of the first 7 numbers

The geometric series' first seven terms are added together to form a sum equal to \(\boldsymbol{16383}\).

Geometric Series

A geometric series is the summation of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them.

Let \(\boldsymbol{a,r}\) denote the first term and the common ratio between the consecutive terms respectively.

Consider the geometric series: \(3+12+48+192+...\)

\(\boldsymbol{a=3}\)

\(r=\frac{12}{3}\)

   \(= \boldsymbol{4}\)

\(\boldsymbol{S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r} }\)

\(S_n =\frac{3(1-4^7)}{1-4}\)

    \(=\frac{3(16383)}{3}\)

    \(=16383\)

So, the geometric series' first seven terms are added together to form a sum equal to \(\boldsymbol{16383}\).
