Here's the following proof that "product of two odd numbers is odd".
Proof: Any odd number can be written in the form 2p+1. Let your first odd number be written in this form. Let your second odd number be written as 2q+1 - essentially the same form as above, but since p may not equal q, separate variables are used.
Thus: First odd number x second odd number = (2p+1)(2q+1)
= 2pq + 2p +2q +1.
The plus one on the end indicates that the product is odd, as required.

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.
