What is the sum of odd numbers from 46 to 176? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 46 to 176.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 46 to 176. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 47, and the last odd number is 175.
F = 47
L = 175
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 46 to 176, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (175 - 47 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 130 ÷ 2
T = 65
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 46 to 176, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (65 ÷ 2) × (2 × 47 + (2 × (65 - 1))
Sum = 32.5 × (94 + 128)
Sum = 32.5 × 222
Sum = 7215
Sum of odd numbers from 46 to 176 = 7215
