![]() Therefore, the 102 nd term of the given AP 6, 13, 20, 27, 34. But what if we have to find the 102 nd term? Isn’t it difficult to calculate it manually? In this case, we can just substitute n = 102 (and also a = 6 and d = 7 in the formula of the n th term of an AP). Then 6 th term = 5 th term + 7 = 34 + 7 = 41. , we can just add d = 7 to the 5 th term which is 34. For example, if we have to find the 6 th term of 6, 13, 20, 27, 34. We know that to find a term, we can add 'd' to its previous term. But what is the use of finding the general term of an AP? Let us see. Thus, the general term (or) n th term of this AP is: a n = 7n - 1. For example, to find the general term (or) n th term of the progression 6, 13, 20, 27, 34., we substitute the first term, a 1 = 6, and the common difference, d = 7 in the formula for the n th term formula. ![]() The general term (or) n th term of an AP whose first term is 'a' and the common difference is 'd' is given by the formula a n = a + (n - 1) d.
