Sum of odd numbers from 1 to 151
What is the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 151? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 151.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 1 to 151. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 1, and the last odd number is 151.
F = 1
L = 151
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 1 to 151, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (151 - 1 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 152 ÷ 2
T = 76
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 151, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (76 ÷ 2) × (2 × 1 + (2 × (76 - 1))
Sum = 38 × (2 + 150)
Sum = 38 × 152
Sum = 5776
Sum of odd numbers from 1 to 151 = 5776
