What is the sum of odd numbers from 10 to 118? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 10 to 118.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 10 to 118. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 11, and the last odd number is 117.
F = 11
L = 117
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 10 to 118, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (117 - 11 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 108 ÷ 2
T = 54
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 10 to 118, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (54 ÷ 2) × (2 × 11 + (2 × (54 - 1))
Sum = 27 × (22 + 106)
Sum = 27 × 128
Sum = 3456
Sum of odd numbers from 10 to 118 = 3456
