the first 4 are 1, 2, 3, and 4, which make 1, 4, 9, and 16.
Those are the first four perfect squares. They will increase by consecutive odd numbers. +1, +3, +5, + 7 and so on.
They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
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.
