Re: Odd natural numbers...
I think the answer is "6481"
explanation the last number of each row is obtained by a formula row number* rownumber+the number of terms in prevoius row eg 2nd row : 2*2+1=5 (5 is last number of sec row) 3rd row: 3*3+ 2=11(11 is the last number of third row) 4 th row 4*4+3 =19(19..................................fourth row) .... .... 80 th row 80*80+79=6479(6479...................80 th row) therefore fiirst number is 6481 hope iam right? bye
