The sum of the first 40 even numbers is 1,640.
The sum of the first 40 whole numbers is 780.
The sum of the first 40 odd numbers is 1,600.
19,20,21
40 * * * * * The correct answer is 6400.
The sum of the first 20 even numbers... is 110
1 ,3, 5, 7 ,9......, 77, 79. Sum of first 40 odd numbers is 1600. This is the answer
The sum of the numbers 1 to 39 = 39 x 40 ÷ 2 = 780 The sum of the numbers 1 to 60 = 60 x 61 ÷ 2 = 1830 Therefore the sum of the numbers 40 to 60 = 1830 - 780 = 1050
2+4+6+8+10........+40=420
Sum of numbers = 40 Count of numbers = 4 Average = Sum/Count = 40/4 = 10
You can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series to calculate that quickly. (Of course, you can also type the numbers into Excel, and get the sum - but that doesn't scale well - e.g., it won't work well if you are then asked, for instance, to get the sum of the first million even numbers.)
The numbers are 40, 41 and 42.
The sum of two numbers between 20-40 is 58. The difference is 12
