You are 'seven', spelled form for the number '7'.
Explanation:
According to applied mathematics, numbers which upon division with two(2) leaves no remainder are called even numbers and the numbers which leaves remainder as one(1) are odd.
Now, the riddle says that it is an odd number and if we take away one letter, it becomes even. Since, we are to take away one letter from the number that means it must be the spelled form of a number. Now, clearly, if we take away 's' (a letter) from the word 'seven' (an odd number), which is the spelled form for the number '7', it leaves us with a new word 'even' (itself even) . Now, it satisfies all the conditions substantiated in the riddle, therefore, 'seven' is the correct answer.
