What is the average of even numbers from 1 to 1972? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of even numbers from 1 to 1972.
To find the average of the even numbers from 1 to 1972, we first calculate how many even numbers there are from 1 to 1972. Then, we calculate the sum of even numbers from 1 to 1972. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of even numbers to get the average.
The range is from 1 to 1972, and the even numbers within that range are from 2 to 1972. Therefore, the first even number in the sequence is 2, and the last even number in the sequence is 1972.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of even numbers from 1 to 1972
Here we calculate the total number of even numbers from 1 to 1972 by entering the first and last even number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
tot = (last - first + 2) ÷ 2
tot = (1972 - 2 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 1972 ÷ 2
tot = 986
Total even numbers from 1 to 1972 = 986
Step 2) Calculate the sum of even numbers from 1 to 1972
To calculate the sum of even numbers from 1 to 1972, you enter the total even numbers (tot) from Step 1 and the first even number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
sum = (tot ÷ 2) × (2 × first + (2 × (tot - 1))
sum = (986 ÷ 2) × (2 × 2 + (2 × (986 - 1))
sum = 493 × (4 + 1970)
sum = 493 × 1974
sum = 973182
Sum of even numbers from 1 to 1972 = 973182
Step 3) Calculate the average of even numbers from 1 to 1972
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of even numbers from 1 to 1972 by dividing the sum of even numbers from Step 2 by the total even numbers from Step 1. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
Average = sum ÷ tot
Average = 973182 ÷ 986
Average = 987
Average of even numbers from 1 to 1972 = 987
