Show that any positive odd integer
Is of the form 4q +1 or 4q+3
Answers
We have
Any positive integer is of the form 4q+1or4q+3
As per Euclid’s Division lemma.
If a and b are two positive integers, then,
a=bq+r
Where 0≤r<b.
Let positive integers be a.and b=4
Hence,a=bq+r
Where, (0≤r<4)
R is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4
Hence, r can be either 0,1,2and3
Now, If r=1
Then, our be equation is becomes
a=bq+r
a=4q+1
This will always be odd integer.
Now, If r=3
Then, our be equation is becomes
a=bq+r
a=4q+3
This will always be odd integer.
Hence proved.

Explanation:
let us start with taking s where a is positive odd integers we apply the division algorithm with a and b = 4
since 0 <_ r < the possible remainder are 0 ,1,2 and 3
this can be 4q or 4q +1 or 4q +2 or 4q +3
where q is the quotient how ever , since odd a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2
any odd integers is form of 4q + 1 or 4 q + 3
