Yes, it's always odd, and here's the proof:
All odd numbers can be expressed as 2p + 1, where p is any integer.
Multiply two of those together:
(2n + 1)(2p + 1) = 4np + 2n + 2p + 1 = 2(np + n + p) + 1.
Since both np, n, and p are integers, that means np + n + p is an integer; and since that integer is being multiplied by 2, it must be even. Thus, by adding 1 to that even number, the result will be odd.

Why is odd times odd numbers always odd numbers?
In the same way that and odd plus and even is always odd. For example, 7*3 = (7+7) odd + odd = even , then add +7, apply rule that odd + even = odd and get that it equals 21.
Is even times even odd?

The sum of three odd numbers is always odd true or false?
The sum of three whole odd numbers will always be odd keeping in mind that zero is neither even nor odd and that 'null' is not a number.
If you add an odd and even number will the answer always be even?
opposite - answer will always be odd (when adding odd + even) odd + even 5 + 4 = 9 odd even + even 2 + 6 = 8 even odd + odd 3 + 1 = 4 even

Is the sum of two square consecutive numbers an odd number?
Yes. One has to be the square of an odd number. The other square has to the the square of the even number either before or after the odd number. If this is confusing just plug in real values. In either case, an odd times and odd is odd. Therefore one of the squares has to be odd. AN even times an even, however, is always even. Therefore, the second square has to be even. Thus, one of the squares is even and the other is odd. An even plus and odd is always odd.
Why is the product of two odd numbers odd?
Let me show this to you by an example : Suppose we wish to multiply 3 and 7. Product or Multiplication by any device is actually carried by the process of addition of 3 seven times, i.e. 3+3+3+3+3+3+3 = 21. Because the two numbers are odd, the result is always odd. To Summarize, addition of an odd number(i.e. 3) to itself an odd number of times(i.e. 7) always results in an odd number. The product of an even and an odd number always results in an even number because addition of even number any number of times is always even and an odd number added to itself an even number of times also results in an even number. For ex. 7*2 = 14, here 7(odd number) is added 2(even number) times, i.e. 7+7=14 which is even.
Is even times even odd?
