Assuming that the question is in the context of the operation "addition",

The set of odd numbers is not closed under addition. That is to say, if x and y are members of the set (x and y are odd) then x+y not odd and so not a member of the set.

There is no identity element in the group such that x+i = i+x = x for all x in the group. The identity element under addition of integers is zero which is not a member of the set of odd numbers.

The sum of two consecutive odd integers?

Are not all integers spaced out to be odd then even then odd then even etc (eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc) and therefore there is no such thing as two consecutive odd integers.


Is the set of odd integers closed under division?

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).
