here is your answer


Let us look at the positive numbers generated by 6q + 1, so we have to start with the non negative integer 0, then input 1, 2, 3…

1, 7, 13, 19…

Now for 6q + 3:

3, 9, 15, 21…

Now for 6q + 5:

5, 11, 17, 23…

Add the three series, and you get all the the positive odd integers:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23…

All positive integers are generated by one of the three formulas you gave.

I hope I help you

vikram991: Dividing a positive odd number by an even number will result in an odd remainder. This can be easily shown. The only possible odd remainders for 6 are 1,3,5. Hence any positive odd number should be of the form mentioned in the question.
