No. 2 times any whole (non-fraction) number will never be odd. 2x1=2 2x2=4 2x3=6 2x4=8 and so on. Only if it is a fraction can it become an odd number (ex 2x1.5=3)

Can you multiply an odd integer and even integer?

Yes, you can. An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.


Why if you multiply odd number with another number the result is always odd number?

Well, the question is why. The first number is "even" + 1. Multiply both of these by your odd number. Now the "even" times "odd" is even, because every "1" in the odd number becomes a "2". And then the remaining 1 times "odd" must be odd, which is an even +1. Add it all up and you get evens everywhere except that final "1". So the result is even + 1 which is odd. There is a quicker way if you know how to multiply bracketed terms: odd x odd = (even + 1)x(even +1)= even x even +even +even +1 = must be odd. ========================== You've just read a truly impressive answer to a question slightly different from the one that was asked. The part of the question that comes after "Why if ..." is a false statement. If you multiply odd number with another number, the result is odd number ONLY if the nother number is also odd number.


What an example of a 3 by 2 number multiplcation problem?

(101) x (22) = 2,222


Why is the product of an even number and an odd number even?

An even number is any number that has '2' as a factor.When you multiply two numbers, you multiply all the factors of both of them.If '2' was a factor of either number, then it's a factor of their product.


Prove that total number of people who lived on earth and made odd number of handshakes is always even?

If you multiply anything by 2 it always comes out even. So if people make 35 handshakes, we multiply it by 2 and we get 70 people. This will work with any different number of handshakes, odd or even.
