The numbers that cannot be divided equally into two parts are the odd numbers. Mostly, odd numbers of people are used in breaking ties for election. We are discussing “Odd Numbers 1 to 5000” 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 5000.
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 consecutive 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 5000. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, .............., 4993, 4995, 4997, 4999.
For the sum of odd numbers, a simple formula is used: Sum of odd numbers = n2 Here, n = 2500 because there are 2500 odd numbers from 1 to 5000.
Substitute n = 2500 into the formula, we get: The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 5000 = (2500)^2 = 6,250,000
When you subtract one odd number from another, the result is always an even number. Odd – Odd = Even Example: 23 - 11 = 12 From the above example, 23 and 11 are odd numbers.
When we subtract 11 from 23 we get 12, which is an even number.
Odd Prime Numbers 1 to 5000
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.
- 6,250,000 is the total of all odd numbers from 1 to 5000.
Find the 1000th odd number.
(2 * 1000) - 1 = 1999 The 1000th odd number is 1999.
To find the 1000th odd number, we use 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 1000.
The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 1000 is 250,000.
To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 1000, we use the formula n2.
Here, n = 500 because there are 500 odd numbers from 1 to 1000.
By substituting n = 500 into the formula, we get 250,000.
Calculate the number of odd numbers divisible by 5 between 1 and 5000.
The number of odd numbers that are divisible by 5 between 1 and 5000 is 500.
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 is 4995.
This follows an arithmetic sequence, where a = 5 and the common difference d = 10. Using the arithmetic sequence formula, we find there are 500 such numbers.
John collected 123 odd stones. He gave 59 of the stones to his friend. How many stones does John have currently?
123 (odd) - 59 (odd) = 64 (even). John currently has 64 stones.
Subtracting 59 stones from 123 stones, we get the number of stones left with John, i.e., 123 - 59 = 64.
This obeys the subtraction property of odd numbers, which states that the difference between two odd numbers is always an even number.
