Express 36 as a sum of successive odd natural numbers.

Solution:

We have to express 36 as a sum of successive odd natural numbers.

Natural numbers are a part of the number system, including all the positive integers from 1 to infinity. 

Natural numbers are also called counting numbers because they do not include zero or negative numbers. 

Considering odd number 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

Sum of odd numbers = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11

= 25 + 11

= 36

Therefore, the odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
