\(1 - 3 - 5 + 7 - 9 - 11 + ... + 1000 - 1002 - 2004\)
\[ = \left( {1 - 3 - 5} \right) + \left( {7 - 9 - 11} \right) + ... + \left( {1000 - 1002 - 1004} \right)\] \[ = \underbrace {\left( { - 7} \right) + \left( { - 7} \right) + ... + \left( { - 7} \right)}_{gom\,334\,so\,hang\,} = - \left( {\underbrace {7 + 7 + ... + 7}_{gom\,334\,so\,hang}} \right) = - 7\,.\,334 = - 2338.\]
Thu gọn các tổng sau:
\[\left( {a - b + c - d} \right) - \left( {a + b + c + d} \right)\]
