The set of odd numbers is an arithmetic sequence. Let say that the sequence has n odd numbers where the first term is a1 and the last one is n.

The formula to find the sum on nth terms for an arithmetic sequence is:

Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an) or

Sn = (n/2)[2a1 + (n - 1)d] where d is the common difference that for odd numbers is 2.

Sn = (n/2)(2a1 + 2n - 2)

Sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 499?

To find the sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 499, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series. The formula is n/2 * (first term + last term), where n is the number of terms. In this case, there are 250 odd numbers from 1 to 499. So, the sum would be 250/2 * (1 + 499) = 125 * 500 = 62,500.

What is the sum of the first 27 odd numbers?

To find the sum of the first 27 odd numbers, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: Sn = n^2, where n is the number of terms. In this case, n = 27, so the sum is 27^2 = 729. Therefore, the sum of the first 27 odd numbers is 729.
