Question

Show that Any positivé odd integer is of the form 6q+1,6q+3,or 6q+5, where q is some integer

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the positive odd integer which when divided by 6 gives q as quotient and r as remainder.

according to Euclid's division lemma

a=bq+r

a=6q+r

where , a=0,1,2,3,4,5

then,

a=6q

or

a=6q+1

or

a=6q+2

or

a=6q+3

or

a=6q+4

or

a=6q+5

but here,

a=6q+1 & a=6q+3 & a=6q+5 are odd.
