What is the sum of odd numbers from 36 to 82? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 36 to 82.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 36 to 82. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 37, and the last odd number is 81.
F = 37
L = 81
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 36 to 82, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (81 - 37 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 46 ÷ 2
T = 23
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 36 to 82, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (23 ÷ 2) × (2 × 37 + (2 × (23 - 1))
Sum = 11.5 × (74 + 44)
Sum = 11.5 × 118
Sum = 1357
Sum of odd numbers from 36 to 82 = 1357
