What is the sum of all of the odd numbers from 1 to 59?

sum = 900

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all odd number can be solved using arithmetic progression formula.

Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be exactly divided by 2 .That means odd number have remainder when divide by 2.

The first odd number is 1

The second is  3

The sequence goes like this

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 , 21 59

a = 1

d = 2

where

a = first term

d = common difference

let us find the number of terms before finding the sum

nth term = a + (n - 1)d

59 = 1 + (n - 1)2

59 = 1 + 2n - 2

59 + 2 - 1 = 2n

60 = 2n

n = 60/2

n = 30

Sum = n/2(a+L)

where L = last term

sum = 30/2(1 + 59)

sum = 15(60)

sum = 900
