Five numbers added together make an odd number what do you know about the numbers?

The Answer:We know the following properties of the parities concerning the numbers: odd + odd = eveneven + odd = odd (commutativity yields the vice verca possible too)even + even = evenThus, we know that the group of numbers have at least 1 odd. However, since 2 odds make an even, any amount of even amount of odds make an even. Therefore, there must be an odd number of odds (i.e., {1, 3, 5}, the only ones that exist in that set).QED.

Can you tell if sum of several numbers will be even or odd?

Yes, all you have to do is to count the number of ODD numbers in the list. If it is odd, then the sum will be odd; if even, so will the sum. Knowing this can help you run a quick validity check when you sum up a list of numbers. (The method works because: a) the sum of two even numbers is even, and b) the sum pf two odd numbers is even, but c) the sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. Hence, if you only determine whether there are any unpaired odd numbers, you know the answer.)


What happens when you add two even numbers Will you get an even number?

Always. even + even = even odd + odd = even even + odd = odd odd + even = odd To summarise, if you add like numbers you get even, otherwise you get odd.

Do prime numbers have to be odd and composite numbers have to be even?

No. All prime numbers except for the number 2 are odd. However, most odd numbers are composite numbers. All even numbers greater than 2 are composite numbers. So, prime numbers do not need to be odd, since one prime number is even. Also, composite numbers do not need to be even.Here are some composite odd numbers:9 = 3 x 333 = 3 x 1175 = 5 x 15
