5061

Analyze Numbers for the Odd One Out

The task is to find the number that does not fit the pattern shared by the other numbers in the list. The given numbers are 4025, 7211, 5061, and 6023. A common method for solving such problems is to check properties like divisibility or the sum of digits. Let's examine the sum of the digits for each number:

Number Sum of Digits Calculation
4025 11 $4 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 11$
7211 11 $7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 11$
5061 12 $5 + 0 + 6 + 1 = 12$
6023 11 $6 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 11$

Identify the Odd Number Pattern

By calculating the sum of the digits for each option, we can see a pattern:

  • The sum of digits for 4025 is $4 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 11$.
  • The sum of digits for 7211 is $7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 11$.
  • The sum of digits for 5061 is $5 + 0 + 6 + 1 = 12$.
  • The sum of digits for 6023 is $6 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 11$.

Three of the numbers (4025, 7211, and 6023) have a digit sum equal to 11. The number 5061 stands out because its digits sum to 12.

This difference in the sum of digits makes 5061 the odd number among the given choices.
