What is the sum of even numbers from 5 to 8? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 8.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) even numbers from 5 to 8. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first even number is 6, and the last even number is 8.
F = 6
L = 8
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total even numbers (T) there are from 5 to 8, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (8 - 6 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 4 ÷ 2
T = 2
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 8, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (2 ÷ 2) × (2 × 6 + (2 × (2 - 1))
Sum = 1 × (12 + 2)
Sum = 1 × 14
Sum = 14
Sum of even numbers from 5 to 8 = 14
