A popular way to identify the sequence using the sums S_n is to use S_n - S_n-1. In this paper, we propose an alternative method. In reference [1], we introduced that the sum S_n can be calculated using dimensions. According to this, the dimension of S_n is one higher than the dimension of a_n. For example, if S_n is a quadratic expression of n, then a_n is a linear expression of n. Thus, a_n can be identified by finding the coefficients of this linear expression.
