What is the sum of odd numbers from 60 to 74? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 60 to 74.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 60 to 74. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 61, and the last odd number is 73.
F = 61
L = 73
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 60 to 74, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (73 - 61 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 14 ÷ 2
T = 7
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 60 to 74, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (7 ÷ 2) × (2 × 61 + (2 × (7 - 1))
Sum = 3.5 × (122 + 12)
Sum = 3.5 × 134
Sum = 469
Sum of odd numbers from 60 to 74 = 469
