What is the sum of odd numbers from 50 to 125? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 50 to 125.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 50 to 125. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 51, and the last odd number is 125.
F = 51
L = 125
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 50 to 125, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (125 - 51 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 76 ÷ 2
T = 38
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 50 to 125, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (38 ÷ 2) × (2 × 51 + (2 × (38 - 1))
Sum = 19 × (102 + 74)
Sum = 19 × 176
Sum = 3344
Sum of odd numbers from 50 to 125 = 3344
