all perfect square numbers
All odd numbers are of the form 2n + 1, where n is an integer.So an odd number minus an odd number is (2n+1) - (2m+1) = 2n -2m = 2(n-m). Both n and m are integers, so while we don't know whether n-m is odd or even, we definitely know that it's an integer and that multiplying it by two cannot possibly give an odd number. So an odd number minus an odd number is an even number. For similar reasons, an odd number plus an odd number is also an even number.
There are two cases here: one where n is even and one where n is odd. Let's consider the case where n is even: If n is even then n2 has to be even (since multiple of an even number must always be even.) In this case, we are subtracting an even number from and even number, the result must be even. This proves than n2 - n is even when n is even. Now let's consider the case where n is odd: If n is odd, then n2 must be odd. This is because an odd number times an odd number is always odd. (You could think if this as an odd number times and even number and then adding an odd number. For example, say that n is odd. n-1 is then even, and n2 = n(n-1) + n. n(n-1) must be even, since it is a multiple of an even number. And even number plus and odd number then has to be odd.) Now we know we have and odd number minus and odd number, which has to be even. So this proves that n2 - n is even when n is odd. Since we have proved that n2 - n is even for both when n is even and when n is odd, and there are no other cases, n2 - n must be even for any natural number n. or Let n be a natural number. Then n can be even or odd. We want to show that n2 - n = 2m where m is any positive nteger (by the def. of even). Case 1: Let n be even. Then n = 2k (def. of even), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k)2 - (2k) = 2(2k2 - k); let 2k2 - k = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Case 2: Let n be odd. Then n = 2k +1 (def. of odd), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k - 1)2 - (2k - 1) = 4k2 - 4k + 1 - 2k + 1 = 4k2 - 6k + 2 = 2(2k2 - 3k + 1); let 2k2 -3k + 1 = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Therefore, for any natural number n, n2 - n is even.
The 119th odd natural number can be calculated using the formula (2n-1), where n represents the position of the number in the sequence of odd natural numbers. In this case, when n=119, the 119th odd natural number would be (2*119-1) = 237. Therefore, the 119th odd natural number is 237.
let n = first odd number; n + 2 = 2nd odd number ,etc. n + n+2 + n+4 + n +6 = 4n + 12 = -72 4n = -84 n = -21 -21,-19,-17 and -15
Every odd number leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Therefore, every odd number is of the form 2k +1 where k is some integer.Suppose 2m + 1 and 2n + 1 are two odd numbers.Then (2m + 1) - (2n + 1) = 2m + 1 - 2n - 1 = 2m - 2n = 2*(m - n)By the closure property of integers under addition (and subtraction), m and n being integers implies than (m - n) is an integer. Therefore 2*(m - n) is an even integer.
Perfect squares have an odd number of factors. If f is a factor of N, then so is N/f. (For example, 3 is a factor of 30, and so is 10). Thus, it seems factors come in pairs, and there should always be an even number of them. But if f = N/f, then these two factors are the same, resulting in an odd number of factors. For example, 3 is a factor of 9, and it's "mate" is also 3. So for the numbers with an odd number of factors, there is some f where f=N/f. Multiplying both sides by f, we have f^2 = N. So this happens when N is a perfect square.
Here is a JavaScript option for determining if a number is odd or even. It even lets you know if the number is zero (if you want zero to be neither odd nor even). var n = prompt("Enter a number to identify as odd or even", "Type your number here"); n = parseInt(n); if (isNaN(n)) { alert("Please Enter a Number"); } else if (n == 0) { alert("The number is zero"); } else if (n%2) { alert("The number is odd"); } else { alert("The number is even"); }
There is no such number. Given any odd number, n, the number (n + 2) is a greater odd number. You can go on, for ever, finding larger odd numbers.
All odd numbers are of the form 2n + 1, where n is an integer.So an odd number minus an odd number is (2n+1) - (2m+1) = 2n -2m = 2(n-m). Both n and m are integers, so while we don't know whether n-m is odd or even, we definitely know that it's an integer and that multiplying it by two cannot possibly give an odd number. So an odd number minus an odd number is an even number. For similar reasons, an odd number plus an odd number is also an even number.
Factors can be listed in pairs. Square numbers will have one pair that is the same number. When put into a list, that number will only be listed once and will result in an odd number of factors.
An odd number is an integer of the form 2*n+1 where n is an integer. Equivalently, an odd number is an integer which leaver a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.
There are two cases here: one where n is even and one where n is odd. Let's consider the case where n is even: If n is even then n2 has to be even (since multiple of an even number must always be even.) In this case, we are subtracting an even number from and even number, the result must be even. This proves than n2 - n is even when n is even. Now let's consider the case where n is odd: If n is odd, then n2 must be odd. This is because an odd number times an odd number is always odd. (You could think if this as an odd number times and even number and then adding an odd number. For example, say that n is odd. n-1 is then even, and n2 = n(n-1) + n. n(n-1) must be even, since it is a multiple of an even number. And even number plus and odd number then has to be odd.) Now we know we have and odd number minus and odd number, which has to be even. So this proves that n2 - n is even when n is odd. Since we have proved that n2 - n is even for both when n is even and when n is odd, and there are no other cases, n2 - n must be even for any natural number n. or Let n be a natural number. Then n can be even or odd. We want to show that n2 - n = 2m where m is any positive nteger (by the def. of even). Case 1: Let n be even. Then n = 2k (def. of even), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k)2 - (2k) = 2(2k2 - k); let 2k2 - k = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Case 2: Let n be odd. Then n = 2k +1 (def. of odd), where k is any positive integer. Then, n2 - n = (2k - 1)2 - (2k - 1) = 4k2 - 4k + 1 - 2k + 1 = 4k2 - 6k + 2 = 2(2k2 - 3k + 1); let 2k2 -3k + 1 = m = 2m Therefore, n2 - n is even. Therefore, for any natural number n, n2 - n is even.
Every integer is either even (divisible by 2) or odd (not divisible by 2). Since an even number plus 1 is odd and an odd number plus one is even, because 1 does not divide 2. We know (n + 4) is odd. The next integer is (n + 4 + 1) = (n + 5), because an odd number plus 1 is even, (n + 5) is even. The integer after (n + 5) is (n + 6), since (n + 5) we know is even, (n + 6) must be odd. Since (n + 6) is the smallest integer that is greater than (n + 4) and is odd, so (n + 6) is the next odd integer.
Because it isn't divisible by 2. Or..Because it's not even. An even number has 2 as one of it's factors (same as divisible by 2), or you could say that an even number can be determined by 2*n, where n is a positive integer, while an odd number can be determined by 2*n - 1, where in is a positive integer. Even (2*n) ---> 2,4,6,8,10,12,.....
An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
It is odd. The definition of an odd number is "a number a is odd if there exists an integer n such that a = 2n + 1." Let a = 1 and let n = 0, so 1 = (2x0) + 1.
It will always be odd. A proof: Call the even number m, call the odd number p. 'p' is equal to an even number 'n' + 1. Adding m and p is equal to m + n + 1; since m and n are both even, their sum is also even (see the related questions). m + n + 1 is one more than an even number, so it is odd, and therefore an odd number plus an even number is also always odd.
