Question

If you multiply an odd number and an odd number what kind of number do you get? Explain why your answer is always correct

Answer 1

for this type of question we need to consider two numbers as examples.

Let us take one number as 3 and other odd number as 7

Now multiplying both , we get , 7 x 3 = 21 which is again an odd number .

Why is my answer always correct?

Let us try with other set of examples too,

Example 1 :

Multiplying 5 and 9

=> 5 x 9 = 45 is an odd number

Multiplying 3 and 9

=> 3 x 9 = 27 is an odd number

Hence whenever we multiply two odd numbers , we always get an odd number .
