What is the sum of odd numbers from 52 to 80? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 52 to 80.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 52 to 80. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 53, and the last odd number is 79.
F = 53
L = 79
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 52 to 80, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (79 - 53 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 28 ÷ 2
T = 14
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 52 to 80, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (14 ÷ 2) × (2 × 53 + (2 × (14 - 1))
Sum = 7 × (106 + 26)
Sum = 7 × 132
Sum = 924
Sum of odd numbers from 52 to 80 = 924
