The product of odd numbers is always even?
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Odd times odd is always odd.
Why when you multiply an odd number by a even does it always equal a even?
When you multiply an odd number by an even number, you are essentially adding an even number of odd numbers together. Since adding an even number of odd numbers will always result in an even number, the product will be even.
Is the product of two odd numbers odd or even?
The product of two odd numbers is always odd.
The sum of two odd numbers is always odd?
The sum of any two odd numbers is always even. This is because (a) any odd number can always be expressed as an even number plus 1, and (b) the sum of two even numbers is always even. So if X is even and Y is even then X+1 added to Y+1 will equal X+Y+2
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.
