What happens when you multiply two odd numbers?
You will always get another 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 when you multiply an odd number an a even number?
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Odd times even is even.
What is the result of product of even numbers and odd numbers?
If you multiply one even number by one odd number, the result is always even. In general, if you multiply several numbers, and at least one of the numbers is even, the product is always even. This is because "even" means "multiple of 2", and if one of the factors contains a 2 as a factor, so will the product.
When you multiply an odd number by an odd number is the answer always odd?
Yes - while multiplying odd numbers by even numbers will always produce an even result.
