The numbers that cannot be divided equally into two parts are the odd numbers. Mostly, odd numbers are used in situations like breaking ties for elections. We are discussing “Odd Numbers 1 to 10000” in this topic.
Odd numbers can be classified into two types – composite odd numbers and consecutive odd numbers.
The numbers that have factors more than two and greater than 1 are called composite numbers.
When a composite number is not divisible by 2, it is called a composite odd number.
For example, 9, 15, and 21 are composite odd numbers.
The pair of odd numbers that have a difference of 2 are called consecutive odd numbers. For example, 3 and 5 are consecutive odd numbers.
Odd numbers follow these properties.
- Odd numbers always end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
- When you add two odd numbers, the result is always an even number.
- Multiplying two odd numbers always gives another odd number.
- The square of any odd number is always an odd number.
The pictorial representation helps children learn odd numbers easily.
By using this chart, children can know the sequence and series of numbers.
Let’s take a look at the odd number chart, ranging between 1 and 10000.
Odd numbers are not divisible by the number 2.
To find odd numbers, we can use the formula: (2n + 1) where n is an integer.
For example, if n = 2 then 2n + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5, which is an odd number.
1. Squaring an odd number, meaning multiplying an odd number by itself, always gives an odd number. For example, the square of 5 is 5 * 5 = 25, which is an odd number.
2. When you add odd numbers starting from 1, the total becomes a perfect square. For example, adding odd numbers from 1 to 9: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16, which is a perfect square.
3. Prime numbers are the numbers that have only two factors, 1 and the number itself.
Let’s take a look at a list of odd numbers from 1 to 10000: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, .............., 9991, 9993, 9995, 9997, 9999.
For the sum of odd numbers, a simple formula is used - Sum of odd numbers = n2 Here, n = 5000 because there are 5000 odd numbers from 1 to 10000.
Substitute n = 5000 into the formula, we get The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 10000 = (5000)2 = 25000000
When you subtract one odd number from another, the result is always an even number.
Odd – Odd = Even Example: 101 – 5 = 96 From the above example, 101 and 5 are odd numbers.
When we subtract 5 from 101, we get 96, which is an even number.
Odd Prime Numbers 1 to 10000
The positive numbers having exactly two factors, 1 and themselves, are called prime numbers.
The prime numbers which are not divisible by 2 are called odd prime numbers.
All prime numbers other than 2 are odd numbers. Example for odd prime numbers: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,......... A few points to remember for odd numbers are as follows -
- The smallest odd prime number is 3.
- Excluding 2, all prime numbers are odd.
- The smallest positive odd number is 1.
- 25000000 is the total of all odd numbers from 1 to 10000.
Find the 1000th odd number.
(2*1000) – 1 = 2000 – 1 = 1999 The 1000th odd number is 1999.
To find the 1000th odd number, we are using the formula 2n - 1 where n is the nth number.
By substituting n = 1000 into the formula, we get the 1000th odd number as 1999.
Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 200.
The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 200 is 10000.
To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 200, we use the formula n2. Here, n = 100 because there are 100 odd numbers from 1 to 200.
By substituting n = 100 into the formula, we get 1002 = 10000.
So, the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 200 is 10000.
Calculate the number of odd numbers divisible by 5 between 1 and 10000.
The number of odd numbers that are divisible by 5 between 1 and 10000 is 1000.
We can write an odd number divisible by 5 as 5k, where k is any integer.
The smallest number is 5 and the largest number (l) is 9995.
This follows an arithmetic sequence, where a = 5 and common difference d = 10.
By substituting them into the arithmetic sequence formula for the number of terms, we get 1000.
Sarah bought 135 apples. She gave 57 of the apples to her friend. How many apples does Sarah have currently?
135 (odd) - 57 (odd) = 78 (even). Sarah currently has 78 apples.
Subtracting 57 apples from 135 apples, we get the number of apples that were left with Sarah, i.e., 135 - 57 = 78.
This obeys the subtraction property of odd numbers, which states that the difference between two odd numbers is always an even number.
- Composite numbers: Numbers greater than 1 having more than two factors. Example: 9 is a composite number because it is divisible by 1, 3, and 9.
- Perfect square: A number that is the product of a number multiplied by itself. Example: 25 is a perfect square number because it is obtained by multiplying 5 with 5 (5 * 5).
- Odd prime numbers: Prime numbers that are not divisible by 2. Example: 5 is an odd prime number because 5 is a prime number, and it is not divisible by 2.
- Consecutive numbers: Numbers that follow each other in order. Example: 3 and 5 are consecutive odd numbers.
- Arithmetic sequence: A sequence of numbers in which the difference of any two successive members is a constant. Example: 5, 15, 25, 35,... is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 10.
