What is the sum of odd numbers from 121 to 196? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 121 to 196.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 121 to 196. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 121, and the last odd number is 195.
F = 121
L = 195
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 121 to 196, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (195 - 121 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 76 ÷ 2
T = 38
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 121 to 196, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (38 ÷ 2) × (2 × 121 + (2 × (38 - 1))
Sum = 19 × (242 + 74)
Sum = 19 × 316
Sum = 6004
Sum of odd numbers from 121 to 196 = 6004
