What is the sum of odd numbers from 118 to 185? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 118 to 185.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 118 to 185. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 119, and the last odd number is 185.
F = 119
L = 185
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 118 to 185, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (185 - 119 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 68 ÷ 2
T = 34
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 185, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (34 ÷ 2) × (2 × 119 + (2 × (34 - 1))
Sum = 17 × (238 + 66)
Sum = 17 × 304
Sum = 5168
Sum of odd numbers from 118 to 185 = 5168
