9801 * The sum of the first two odd numbers (1+3) is 4, or 22 * The sum of the first three odd numbers (1+3+5) is 9, or 32 * The sum of the first four odd numbers (1+3+5+7) is 16, or 42 * ...and so on So the sum of the first 99 odd numbers, using the pattern above, would be 992 or 9801.

the series of odd numbers from 1 to 99 :1 3 5 7 9.....99 SUM OF THE SERIES: It is a geometric progression with a=1 and l=99 and common difference (d)=2. let 99 be the nth term of the sequence so, 99=1+(n-1)d 99=1+(n-1)2 solving this we get n =50. SUM=(n/2)(a+l) =(50/2)(1+99) =(25)(100) =2500.
let the number be n-1, n, n+1 then 3n=99 and so n=33 the numbers are 32, 33, 34
99 is an odd number. Even numbers are evenly divisible by two, while odd numbers are not.
