Enter the start and end values to quickly calculate the product of all consecutive numbers (integers, odd numbers, or even numbers) in the range.
The product of a set of consecutive numbers can be calculated for integers, odd numbers, or even numbers. Typically, step-by-step multiplication is used to calculate their product. The process is straightforward, and the key is to ensure each step is performed in the correct order.
For the product of consecutive integers, simply multiply all the numbers in the range starting from the first number to the last.
Start with the first number 1: \( 1 \) Then multiply by the next number 2: \( 1 \times 2 = 2 \) Next, multiply by 3: \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \) Continue with 4: \( 6 \times 4 = 24 \) Finally, multiply by 5: \( 24 \times 5 = 120 \) Result: The product of integers from 1 to 5 is 120.
Key Point: At each step, multiply the current result by the next number in the sequence until all numbers are multiplied.
For the product of consecutive odd numbers, the process is similar to that of integers, but you only multiply the odd numbers, skipping the even numbers.
Start with the first number 1: \( 1 \) Then multiply by the next odd number 3: \( 1 \times 3 = 3 \) Next, multiply by 5: \( 3 \times 5 = 15 \) Then multiply by 7: \( 15 \times 7 = 105 \) Finally, multiply by 9: \( 105 \times 9 = 945 \) Conclusion: The product of consecutive odd numbers from 1 to 9 is 945.
Key Point: Ensure that you only multiply odd numbers at each step, and do not include even numbers.
For the product of consecutive even numbers, the process is the same as for odd numbers, except you multiply only the even numbers.
Start with the first even number 2: \( 2 \) Then multiply by the next even number 4: \( 2 \times 4 = 8 \) Next, multiply by 6: \( 8 \times 6 = 48 \) Then multiply by 8: \( 48 \times 8 = 384 \) Finally, multiply by 10: \( 384 \times 10 = 3840 \) Conclusion: The product of consecutive even numbers from 2 to 10 is 3840.
