How do you set up the sum 96 with odd integers?

Answer 1

To set up the sum 96 using odd integers, you can express it as the sum of a series of odd integers. The smallest odd integer is 1, and you can continue adding subsequent odd integers (3, 5, 7, etc.) until their total equals 96. Since the sum of any odd integers is even, you can also represent it as a combination of specific odd integers, such as (1 + 3 + 5 + \ldots + 19 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 33 + 35 + 37), ensuring the total is 96. Alternatively, you can also use a combination like (31 + 33 + 35 - 3) to reach the target sum.
