let a be any positive integer
then
b= 4
a= bq+r
0≤r<b
0≤r<4
r= 0,1,2,3
case 1.
r=0
a= bq+r
4q+0
4q
case 2.
r=1
a= 4q+1
6q+1
case3.
r=2
a=4q+2
case 4.
r=3
a=4q+3
hence from above it is proved that any positive integer is of the form 4q, 4q+1,4q+2,4q+3

Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the positive integer.
And, b = 4 .
Then by Euclid's division lemma,
We can write a = 4q + r ,for some integer q and 0 ≤ r < 4 .
°•° Then, possible values of r is 0, 1, 2, 3 .
Taking r = 0 .
a = 4q .
Taking r = 1 .
a = 4q + 1 .
Taking r = 2
a = 4q + 2 .
Taking r = 3 .
a = 4q + 3 .
But a is an odd positive integer, so a can't be 4q , or 4q + 2 [ As these are even ] .
•°• a can be of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3 for some integer q .
Hence , it is solved
