Yes, you would get an even number.
I'll use an example to tell you why you get an even number. Let's use 7 times 4. Let's say I set out 4 groups of 7 blocks. The first 6 blocks in each set would be an even number of blocks, so we can set those to the side since we already know they make an even number. This leaves us with one block per group left (the odd block). If we combine all the "odd" blocks, we would have four. These four blocks would make 2 sets of 2 blocks, thus giving us an even number of blocks.
In other words, an odd number times an even number is even because the item that makes a number odd would match with an item that is making another number odd, thus those two "odds" match up to make an even number.

Is a odd number times a even number a odd number?
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Odd times even is even.
Is even times even odd?
even times even = even odd times even = even odd times odd = odd
When multiplying an odd number by an odd number why is the result odd?
The product of multiplication results in a number that has all of the factors of the two numbers being multiplied. All even numbers have the prime factor 2. Since no odd number has the factor 2, no product of those numbers can have it. So: - Odd numbers times odd numbers produce odd numbers. - Odd numbers times even numbers produce even numbers. - Even numbers times even numbers produce even numbers.
An even number minus a odd number?
"IT IS ALWAYS A ODD"
Is the sum of an odd number and an even number always even?
No. Sum of odd + odd = even Sum of odd + even = odd Sum of even + even = even
