Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q+1, or 69 +3, or 69 + 5, where q
some integer.
Answers
lets us start with taking a,where a is a postive off integer
We apply the division algorithm with a and b=6
since 0 less than or equal to r or lessthan 6 the possible remainders are 012345
that is
a can be
6q+1or6q+3or6q+5
where quotient
however since a is odd a cannot be 6q,6q+2,6q+4since they are divisble by 2
therefore the any odd integer is of the form of 6q+1,6q+3,6q+5

if 'a' and 'b' are two positive integers then
where,
0 ≤ r < b
let a be a positive integers and b = 6
where,
0 ≤ r < 6
from above we can say that remainder is less than 6 and equal or greater than 0
so the possible values of r be
by putting values of divisor(b) and remainder in equation
putting r = 0, a = 6q + 0
a = 6q
it is divided by 2 so it is an number.
putting r = 1, a = 6q + 1
6q is divided by 2 but 1 is not divided.
it is not divided by 2 so it is an number.
putting r = 2, a = 6q + 2
it is divided by 2 so it is an number.
putting r = 3, a = 6q + 3
it is not divided by 2 so it is an number.
putting r = 4, a = 6q + 4
it is divided by 2 so it is an number
putting r = 5, a = 6q + 5
it is not divided by 2 so it is an number.
so by these we can say that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q+1, or 69 +3, or 69 + 5, where q is some integer.
