Math Problem Statement

Sum of all even numbers from 1 to 50.

Solution

The sum of all even numbers from 1 to 50 can be found using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence:

Sn=n2×(a+l)S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (a + l)

Where:

  • SnS_n is the sum of the arithmetic sequence.
  • nn is the number of terms.
  • aa is the first term.
  • ll is the last term.

In this case:

  • The even numbers between 1 and 50 form an arithmetic sequence: 2,4,6,,502, 4, 6, \dots, 50.
  • The first term a=2a = 2.
  • The last term l=50l = 50.
  • The common difference between terms is 22.

To find nn, the number of terms: n=5022+1=25n = \frac{50 - 2}{2} + 1 = 25

Now, using the formula: S25=252×(2+50)=252×52=25×26=650S_{25} = \frac{25}{2} \times (2 + 50) = \frac{25}{2} \times 52 = 25 \times 26 = 650

So, the sum of all even numbers from 1 to 50 is 650.
