Here are your two odd natural numbers:
2m + 1
2n + 1
Square them, and take the difference.
(2m+1)^2 - (2n+1)^2
= 4(m^2 - n^2) + 4(m-n)
= 4(m-n)(m + n + 1)
Now just note that if m,n are both even or both odd, then m-n is even. If m,n has one even and the other odd, then m+n+1 is even.
2m + 1
2n + 1
Square them, and take the difference.
(2m+1)^2 - (2n+1)^2
= 4(m^2 - n^2) + 4(m-n)
= 4(m-n)(m + n + 1)
Now just note that if m,n are both even or both odd, then m-n is even. If m,n has one even and the other odd, then m+n+1 is even.
