What is the sum of odd numbers from 118 to 147? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 118 to 147.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 118 to 147. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 119, and the last odd number is 147.
F = 119
L = 147
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 118 to 147, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (147 - 119 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 30 ÷ 2
T = 15
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 118 to 147, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (15 ÷ 2) × (2 × 119 + (2 × (15 - 1))
Sum = 7.5 × (238 + 28)
Sum = 7.5 × 266
Sum = 1995
Sum of odd numbers from 118 to 147 = 1995
