Concept:
We recall the definition of odd numbers and integers.
Integers are the whole value numbers which can be positive, negative or 0.
Odd numbers are the numbers which cannot be divided by 2 and if divided, it does not leave a whole number as a reminder.
So, odd integers will be the positive and negative odd numbers.
Given:
We are given the numbers -7 and -3
To find:
We are asked to find an odd integer between -7 and -3
Solution:
From the definition of odd integers, we have some examples:
-7,-5,-3,-2,-1,1,3,5,7, etc.
From the number line in the picture, we can see that the numbers between -7 and -3 are -6,-5, and -4.
On dividing these three numbers by 2, -6 and -4 gives a whole number as a reminder which does not satisfy the definition of an odd integer.
Since we are asked to find only odd integer/integers between -7 and -3, we find that the only number left is -5 satisfying the definition of an odd integer.
Thus, -5 is the odd integer between -7 and -3
