What is the 100 odd number?
199 The first odd number is 1 The second odd number is 3 The rth odd number is thus 2r - 1 Thus the 100th odd number is 2 x 100 - 1 = 199.
Why do you get an odd number when you multiply two odd numbers?
Let one odd number be "2m + 1", the other odd number "2n + 1" (where "m" and "n" are integers). All odd numbers have this form. If you multiply this out, you get (2m+1)(2n+1) = 4mn + 2m + 2n + 1. Since each of the first three parts is even, the "+1" at the ends converts the result into an odd number.
Why when you multiply an odd number with another odd number the result is a odd number?
yes, the product of 2 odd numbers is always an 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.
What do you get if you subtract an odd and even number?
Odd. First subtract 1 less than your odd number, (which is obviously even) to get even - even, which is even. Then take off your spare 1 to finish up odd.
What is the sum of the first 600 consecutive odd number?
There is a surprisingly easy formula for this. Sum of n odd numbers = n2 So the sum of the first 600 odd numbers (starting with 1 as the very first odd number) is 6002 = 360000.
