let a be any positive integer and b =6

by using euclid's division lemma

a=bq+r

where

0  \leqslant  r < 6

here r can be written as

r=0,r=1,r=2,r=3,r=4,r=5

so the required positive integer are 6q,6q+1,6q+2,6q+3,6q+4,6q+5

but

6q,6q+2,6q+4 are divisible by 2

so these are positive even integer

therefore

6q+1,6q+3,6q+5 are the positive odd integer
