What is the sum of odd numbers from 120 to 182? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 120 to 182.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 120 to 182. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 121, and the last odd number is 181.
F = 121
L = 181
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 120 to 182, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (181 - 121 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 62 ÷ 2
T = 31
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 120 to 182, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (31 ÷ 2) × (2 × 121 + (2 × (31 - 1))
Sum = 15.5 × (242 + 60)
Sum = 15.5 × 302
Sum = 4681
Sum of odd numbers from 120 to 182 = 4681
