If n is an odd number, then its remainder is 1 when I divide it by 2.

17 is an odd number. What conclusion can be made?

Answer: Its remainder is 1 when you divide 17 by 2.

In other words, 17/2 = 8 remainder 1.

The 8 is the quotient.

The reason why we know we get a remainder 1 is because the condition of "if n is an odd number" and here n = 17 is odd. So the first condition is met allowing us to use the full "if, then" statement given to us.
