What is the sum of all the even numbers between 200 to 500?

Published in Arithmetic Series 1 min read

The sum of all even numbers between 200 and 500 is 52150.

Here's how to arrive at that answer:

We need to sum the series: 200 + 202 + 204 + ... + 498 + 500. This is an arithmetic progression.

  • First term (a): 200
  • Last term (l): 500
  • Common difference (d): 2

To find the number of terms (n), we use the formula: l = a + (n - 1)d

500 = 200 + (n - 1)2
300 = (n - 1)2
150 = n - 1
n = 151

Therefore, there are 151 terms in the series.

Now, to find the sum (S) of the arithmetic series, we use the formula: S = n/2 * (a + l)

S = 151/2 (200 + 500)
S = 151/2
700
S = 151 * 350
S = 52850

Therefore, the sum of all the even numbers between 200 and 500 is 52850.
