Did you know that \(1000\) can be written as the sum of \(16\) consecutive integers?
That is, \[1000=55+56+57+58+59+60+61+62+63+64+65+66+67+68+69+70\]
The notation below illustrates a mathematical short form used for writing the above sum. The notation is called Sigma Notation.
\[\Huge\sum_{i=55}^{70}i = 1000\]
Using at least two integers, what is the minimum number of consecutive integers that sum to exactly \(1000\)?
