The sum of the first 1,000,000 positive even numbers is: 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ... + 2,000,000 The sum of the first 1,000,000 positive odd integers is: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ... + 1,999,999 The difference between the two is: (2-1) + (4-3) + (6-5) + (8-7) + ... + (2,000,000-1,999,999). This is the same as: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ... + 1. Well how many 1's are there? 1,000,000. So the difference is 1,000,000. Note that if the question asked for the difference between the sum of the first 1,000 positive even numbers and the sum of the first 1,000 positive odd numbers, the answer would be 1,000. The first n even numbers and odd numbers? n.
