What is the sum of odd numbers from 8 to 107? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 8 to 107.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 8 to 107. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 9, and the last odd number is 107.
F = 9
L = 107
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 8 to 107, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (107 - 9 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 100 ÷ 2
T = 50
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 8 to 107, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (50 ÷ 2) × (2 × 9 + (2 × (50 - 1))
Sum = 25 × (18 + 98)
Sum = 25 × 116
Sum = 2900
Sum of odd numbers from 8 to 107 = 2900
