sum of natural numbers from 1 to 240 =\frac{240\times241}{2}=28920 number of columns = 16 for equality, each slumn should have the sum as 28920/16 = 1807.5 which is a fractional number we are only putting integers, and hence sum of each column has to be an integer and Not a fraction. Hence the given statement is proved
