It is nothing but the sequential order of the odd numbers. For example, 1,3,5,7,9…
Properties of Odd Numbers
-
Odd + Odd = Even
When two odd numbers are added their sum is an even number. For example,
Here, 1 and 3 are odd numbers but their sum is 4 which is an even number.
-
Odd – Odd = Even
When an odd number is subtracted from another odd number, the result is an even number. For example,
Here 7,3 , and 1 are odd numbers, and the result is an even number.
-
Odd x Odd = Odd
The product of two odd numbers is always an odd number. For example,
Here, 5 and 3 are the odd numbers, and the products too are odd numbers.
-
Odd / Odd = Odd
The division of two odd numbers always results in an odd number. For example,
Here the 5,3 , and 15 are the odd numbers and the result of their division result will also be an odd number.
The key features of an odd number are as follows.
-
When we divide odd numbers by 2 the remainder should always be 1 .
-
1 is the first positive odd number in the number line.
