What is the sum of odd numbers from 3 to 193? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 3 to 193.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 3 to 193. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 3, and the last odd number is 193.
F = 3
L = 193
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 3 to 193, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (193 - 3 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 192 ÷ 2
T = 96
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 3 to 193, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (96 ÷ 2) × (2 × 3 + (2 × (96 - 1))
Sum = 48 × (6 + 190)
Sum = 48 × 196
Sum = 9408
Sum of odd numbers from 3 to 193 = 9408
