What is the sum of odd numbers from 14 to 180? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 14 to 180.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 14 to 180. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 15, and the last odd number is 179.
F = 15
L = 179
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 14 to 180, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (179 - 15 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 166 ÷ 2
T = 83
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 14 to 180, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (83 ÷ 2) × (2 × 15 + (2 × (83 - 1))
Sum = 41.5 × (30 + 164)
Sum = 41.5 × 194
Sum = 8051
Sum of odd numbers from 14 to 180 = 8051
