Is the number 1 an odd or even number?
The number 1 is an odd number.
Is 1 and odd or even number?
odd
Why is when you subtract 1 from the square of an odd number it is even?
An odd number multiplied by another odd number will always equal an odd number. Therefore odd2 = odd x odd = odd number. eg 32 = 3 x 3 = 9. Take away 1 and you will have on even number.
Can you get a odd number and subtraction 1 and get a odd number?
no physically you cannot because before an odd number is a even number.
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.
