It is an AP with first term 1 and common difference 1.
The formula for sum of n terms is,
Similarly, for 18 months the last term is 18 and its sum is,
Similarly, for 24 months the last term is 24 and its sum is,
Similarly, for 300 months the last term is 30 and its sum is,
Therefore, the last term for 18 month is 18 and its sum is 171. The last term for 24 month is 24 and its sum is 300. The last term for 30 month is 30 and its sum is 465.
