No. For example, 5 is an odd integer and 3 is an odd integer, yet 5/3 is neither an integer nor odd (as odd numbers are, by definition, integers).

You can't. Adding any two odd numbers always gives an even number, which is not a member of the set of odd numbers.


Is the set of odd numbers is closed under multiplication but is not under addition?

Let + (addition) be a binary operation on the set of odd numbers S. The set S is closed under + if for all a, b ϵ S, we also have a + b ϵ S. Let 3, 5 ϵ the set of odd numbers 3 + 5 = 8 (8 is not an odd number) Since 3 + 5 = 8 is not an element of the set of the odd numbers, the set of the odd numbers is not closed under addition.

Why do odd numbers can go into even numbers but even numbers don't go into odd numbers?

All even numbers have 2 as a factor - that is in their definition No odd numbers have 2 as a factor - that is in theirs. Trying to divide 2, or any multiple of it, into a number that by definition cannot be divided by 2, is a hopeless endeavour. There is no guarantee that you can divide an even number by an odd one, but it is not impossible.
