Answer: The Answer is "less than"
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sum of a series, you find the difference between the first and last term, multiply that by the number of terms, then divide by 2.
For the even numbers, 2 is the first term and 200 is the 100th term (because 2+(100-1)2 is equal to 200). So, (100(2+202)/2 = 10100.
For the odd numbers, 1 is the first term and 201 is the 101th term (because 1+(101-1)2 is equal to 201). So, (101(1+202))/2 = 10251.5.
10100<10251.5 so the sum of the first 100 even numbers is less than the sum of the first odd 101 numbers.

Answer:
It depends, see answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
By arithmetic, we refer to the elementary operations between numbers. You can build the integer, rational, real and complex number systems from the natural numbers, so it is enough to obtain arithmetic for natural numbers.
In the axiomatic formulation of natural numbers, you assume that there exists a non empty set N such that multiplication and addition are defined in N with the commutative, associative, distributive and modulus properties. If you take this approach, you need all of the above: Numbers exist, Multiplication, Addition.
A different approach is the following: assume the Peano axioms: The set of natural numbers exists, and it obeys an inductive structure (without going in further details, every natural number has a unique sucessor, and mathematical induction is valid). You can define addition and multiplication inductively, so in this case you only need to assume that numbers exist.
