Well, darling, the sum of the first 99 odd numbers is 9801. You see, you take the last odd number, which is 197, multiply it by the total number of odd numbers (which is 99), and divide by 2. Voila! Math magic at its finest.

There are 50 odd numbers in the range from 1 to 99. This can be calculated by dividing the total range (99 - 1 + 1 = 99) by 2, as every other number in the range is odd. Therefore, 99 / 2 = 49.5, but since we are dealing with whole numbers, there are 50 odd numbers in the range from 1 to 99.
No. As both negative and positive numbers can be odd, there is no first odd number, and therefore no 100th odd number. The 100th odd positive number is 199.
Let n = smallest of the odd numbers, then let n+2 = the larger of the two numbers (Remember, 1 is not a prime number.) n+ n+2 = {(2)(7)}2 2n +2 = 142 2n = 196 -2 2n = 194 n = 97 n + 2 = 99
50 of them.
