The sum of the numbers from 1 to 2023 can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

Sn = (n/2)(a + l)

where Sn is the sum of the series, n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and l is the last term.

In this case, the first term (a) is 1, the last term (l) is 2023, and the number of terms (n) can be found using the formula:

n = (l - a) + 1

Substituting the values into the formula:

n = (2023 - 1) + 1 = 2023

Now, we can calculate the sum:

Sn = (2023/2)(1 + 2023) = (1011)(2024) = 2,046,264.
