Odd Numbers 1 to 150

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The numbers that cannot be divided equally into two parts are the odd numbers. Mostly, odd numbers are used in breaking ties for elections. We are discussing “Odd Numbers 1 to 150” in this topic.

Odd Numbers 1 to 150

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.

List of Odd Numbers 1 to 150

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.

Fun facts about odd numbers

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 + 9 = 25, 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 150: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, ..., 141, 143, 145, 147, 149.

Sum of Odd Numbers 1 to 150

For the sum of odd numbers, a simple formula is used - Sum of odd numbers = n2 Here, n = 75 because there are 75 odd numbers from 1 to 150.

 

Substitute n = 75 into the formula, we get The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 150 = 752 = 5625

Subtraction of Odd Numbers 1 to 150

When you subtract one odd number from another, the result is always an even number. Odd – Odd = Even Example: 17 – 5 = 12

 

From the above example, 17 and 5 are odd numbers. When we subtract 5 from 17, we get 12, which is an even number.

 

Odd Prime Numbers 1 to 150 

 

The prime numbers that are not divisible by 2 are called odd prime numbers.

 

All prime numbers other than 2 are odd numbers. Example of odd prime numbers: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ...

 

A few points to remember about 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.

 

- 5625 is the total of all odd numbers from 1 to 150.

Odd Numbers 1 to 150 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Find the 50th odd number.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

(2 × 50) – 1 = 100 – 1 = 99 The 50th odd number is 99.

Explanation

To find the 50th odd number, we use the formula 2n - 1 where n is the nth number. By substituting n = 50 into the formula, we get the 50th odd number as 99.

Problem 2

Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 50.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 50 is 625.

Explanation

To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 50, we use the formula n2. Here, n = 25 because there are 25 odd numbers from 1 to 50.

 

By substituting n = 25 into the formula, we get 252 = 625. Thus, the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 50 is 625.

Problem 3

Calculate the number of odd numbers divisible by 5 between 1 and 150.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The number of odd numbers that are divisible by 5 between 1 and 150 is 15.

Explanation

We can express an odd number divisible by 5 as 5k, where k is any integer. 

 

The smallest number is 5 and the largest number is 145.

 

This follows an arithmetic sequence, where a = 5 and common difference d = 10.

 

By applying the arithmetic sequence formula, we determine there are 15 such numbers.

Problem 4

Emma had 37 apples. She gave 19 of the apples to her friend. How many apples does Emma have currently?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

37 (odd) - 19 (odd) = 18 (even). Emma currently has 18 apples.

Explanation

Subtracting 19 apples from 37 apples, we get the number of apples left with Emma, i.e., 37 - 19 = 18.

 

This follows the subtraction property of odd numbers, which states that the difference between two odd numbers is always an even number.
