Complete the sentence below with less than,

greater than or equal to.

The sum of the first 100 even natural numbers is

the sum of the first 101 odd

natural numbers.

The Answer is "less than"

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of a series, you find the difference between the first and last term, multiply that by the number of terms, then divide by 2.

For the even numbers, 2 is the first term and 200 is the 100th term (because 2+(100-1)2 is equal to 200). So, (100(2+202)/2 = 10100.

For the odd numbers, 1 is the first term and 201 is the 101th term (because 1+(101-1)2 is equal to 201). So, (101(1+202))/2 = 10251.5.

10100<10251.5 so the sum of the first 100 even numbers is less than the sum of the first odd 101 numbers.
