What is the sum of odd numbers from 48 to 173? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 48 to 173.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 48 to 173. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 49, and the last odd number is 173.
F = 49
L = 173
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 48 to 173, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (173 - 49 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 126 ÷ 2
T = 63
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 48 to 173, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (63 ÷ 2) × (2 × 49 + (2 × (63 - 1))
Sum = 31.5 × (98 + 124)
Sum = 31.5 × 222
Sum = 6993
Sum of odd numbers from 48 to 173 = 6993
