Use Euclid division lemma to show that any positive odd integer is of form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3 or 6q + 5, where q is some integers.
Let a be any odd positive integer and b = 6
Then using Euclid’s algorithm, we get a = 6q + r here r is remainder and value of q is more than or equal to 0 and r = 0,1,2,3,4,5
because 0≤r<b
and the value of b is 6
So total form available will be 6q, 6q + 1, 6q + 2, 6q + 3, 6q + 4, 6q + 5 ,6q + 6 is divisible by 2, so it is an even number.
6q + 1
, 6 is divisible by 2 but 1 is not divisible by 2, so it is an odd number.
6q + 2 , 6 is divisible by 2 but 2 is also divisible by 2, so it is an even number.
6q + 3
, 6 is divisible by 2 but 3 is not divisible by 2, so it is an odd number.
6q + 4
, 6 is divisible by 2 but 4 is also divisible by 2, so it is an even number.
6q + 5
, 6 is divisible by 2 but 5 is not divisible by 2, so it is an odd number.
∴ so odd numbers will in form of 6q + 1 or 6q + 3 or 6q + 5![]()
