What is the average of odd numbers from 1 to 2986? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 2986.
To find the average of the odd numbers from 1 to 2986, we first calculate how many odd numbers there are from 1 to 2986. Then, we calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 2986. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of odd numbers to get the average.
The range is from 1 to 2986, and the odd numbers within that range are from 1 to 2985. Therefore, the first odd number in the sequence is 1, and the last odd number in the sequence is 2985.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of odd numbers from 1 to 2986
Here we calculate the total number of odd numbers from 1 to 2986 by entering the first and last odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
tot = (last - first + 2) ÷ 2
tot = (2985 - 1 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 2986 ÷ 2
tot = 1493
Total odd numbers from 1 to 2986 = 1493
Step 2) Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 2986
To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 2986, you enter the total odd numbers (tot) from Step 1 and the first odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
sum = (tot ÷ 2) × (2 × first + (2 × (tot - 1))
sum = (1493 ÷ 2) × (2 × 1 + (2 × (1493 - 1))
sum = 746.5 × (2 + 2984)
sum = 746.5 × 2986
sum = 2229049
Sum of odd numbers from 1 to 2986 = 2229049
Step 3) Calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 2986
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 2986 by dividing the sum of odd numbers from Step 2 by the total odd numbers from Step 1. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
Average = sum ÷ tot
Average = 2229049 ÷ 1493
Average = 1493
Average of odd numbers from 1 to 2986 = 1493
