Math Problem Help!?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
The Sum of the positive odd integers less than 50 is subtracted from the sum of the positive integers less than or equal to 50. What is the difference? Ill award best answer to!
Did you mean to say sum of even minus sum of odd rather than sum of all minus sum of odd, because the latter would just be equal to the sum of the evens which would be equal to twice the sum of all integers less than or equal to 25? Either way for the former we'd have 26(25) - (26(25) - 25) = 25 and the latter we'd have 26(25) = 650
