Without adding, find the sum of the following numbers
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 =
Given, 9 consecutive odd numbers sum. To find out, the sum of consecutive odd numbers from “1” to “17” without adding.
We have sum of first n odd numbers = n2.
Here, n = 9
⇒ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 92
⇒ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 81
Hence, the sum of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 without adding = 81
