Best Answer

It will always be odd. A proof:

Call the even number m, call the odd number p. 'p' is equal to an even number 'n' + 1. Adding m and p is equal to m + n + 1; since m and n are both even, their sum is also even (see the related questions). m + n + 1 is one more than an even number, so it is odd, and therefore an odd number plus an even number is also always odd.

When odd number plus an even number is equal even numbers?

Any odd number can be written as an even number plus one. Any even number plus any other even number makes an even number. Add one makes an odd number. So an odd number plus an even number is always an odd number. Algebraically, any odd number can be written as 2a+ 1 where a is a whole number. Any even number can be written as 2b, where b is a whole number. Add them together, the sum is 2(a + b) + 1, which is odd.


When you add an odd and even number together is the sum odd or even and why?

The best way I can explain this is the way my kindergardenn teacher taught me. In even numbers, all the numbers will have a partner. With 2 each little person/number will have a partner. Now with an odd number, (such as three) there will be a person/number alone. so if you add an even and an odd there will be on little person without a partner, causing it to be an odd.
