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 elections. We are discussing “Odd Numbers 100 to 1000” 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, 105, 165, and 231 are composite odd numbers.
The pair of odd numbers that have a difference of 2 are called consecutive odd numbers. For example, 101 and 103 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 100 and 1000.
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 = 50 then 2n + 1 = 2(50) + 1 = 100 + 1 = 101, 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 7 is 7 × 7 = 49, 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 100 to 1000: 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 111, 113, 115, 117, ..., 981, 983, 985, 987, 989, 991, 993, 995, 997, 999.
For the sum of odd numbers, a simple formula is used - Sum of odd numbers = n2 Here, n is the number of odd numbers in the sequence.
Since there are 450 odd numbers from 101 to 999, the sum is not directly calculable by this formula but can be determined by adding all terms manually or using a series formula.
When you subtract one odd number from another, the result is always an even number.
Odd – Odd = Even Example: 113 – 105 = 8 From the above example, 113 and 105 are odd numbers.
When we subtract 105 from 113, we get 8, which is an even number. plain_heading7 Odd Prime Numbers 100 to 1000
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. Examples of odd prime numbers: 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, ...
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.
Find the 100th odd number.
(2 × 100) - 1 = 200 - 1 = 199 The 100th odd number is 199.
To find the 100th odd number, we are using the formula 2n - 1 where n is the nth number. By substituting n = 100 into the formula, we get the 100th odd number as 199.
Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 101 to 199.
The sum of odd numbers from 101 to 199 is 7500.
To calculate the sum of odd numbers in a specified range, we can add the numbers manually or use an arithmetic series formula.
Here, there are 50 odd numbers from 101 to 199, and their sum is 7500.
Calculate the number of odd numbers divisible by 5 between 100 and 1000.
The number of odd numbers that are divisible by 5 between 100 and 1000 is 90.
We can write an odd number divisible by 5 as 5k, where k is any integer.
The smallest number is 105 and the largest number is 995. This follows an arithmetic sequence, where a = 105 and common difference d = 10.
By substituting them into the arithmetic sequence formula, we find there are 90 such numbers.
Sarah bought 87 apples. She gave 37 of the apples to her friend. How many apples does Sarah have currently?
87 (odd) - 37 (odd) = 50 (even). Sarah currently has 50 apples.
Subtracting 37 apples from 87 apples, we get the number of apples that were left with Sarah, i.e. 87 - 37 = 50.
This obeys the subtraction property of odd numbers, which states that the difference between two odd numbers is always an even number.
