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 happens when you multiply a plus?

What do you get when you multiply a positive number by a positive number greater than one?

When you multiply a positive number by another positive number greater than one, the result is always greater than the original positive number. This is because multiplying by a number greater than one increases the value of the original number. For example, if you multiply 3 (a positive number) by 2 (a positive number greater than one), the result is 6, which is greater than 3.

Why when you multiply an odd number by a even does it always equal a even?
