How many odd numbers are there?
|
Many of you were careful to say that you only counted numbers BETWEEN the two numbers given, so you didn't include the numbers themselves. That's important to get clear, I think. Show
Matthew and Luca from Dunchurch Boughton Junior School described what they noticed: If the two numbers are consecutive (I think here they mean the starting numbers of each set of numbers) and the last numbers are the same, the answer will always be exactly the same. Here are some examples: 3-15: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. = five odds 123-131: 125, 127, 129. = three odds Moana from the Canadian Academy explained what Matthew and Luca noticed by saying: We figured out that after an odd number, it's an even number and since we don't count even numbers it doesn't change. (I think by 'it' in the second sentence Moana means the number of odd numbers.) James from Edenlode wrote: 3 odd numbers between 3-11! Some numbers with 3 odds in between are 0 and 6 or 0 and 7! If I was explaining to someone else how to work out how many odds between two numbers I would say 'If you start on an even number and land on an even number then the number of odds is half the number you count on. If you start on an even number and land on an odd number, then the number of odds is half the number you count on, plus one more'. I love maths. I wonder what happens when you start on an odd number and land on an even number? Or if you start on an odd number and land on an odd number? James also asked "Do you notice anything about my exclamation marks?". When a number is divided by 2, leaves a remainder of 1 is called an odd number. These odd numbers can not be paid into two’s.Example of odd numbers is 1,3,5,7, etc. Let’s make it easy by visualizing it. Look at the below picture. Do you see the chocolates? Yes, the number of chocolates we have is odd. Let’s take a look at the chocolates to understand the concept of odd numbers more clearly.  If you notice the chocolate, when it numbers like 1, 3, 5, or 7, it doesn’t form a complete pair. One chocolate among all has remained unpaired. By this, we can understand that an odd number when divided by 2, leaves 1 chocolate behind. Difference Between Odd and Even NumbersEven though differentiating odd numbers and even numbers is easy and taught in their math classes, kids sometimes get confused somehow. To be more clear to the kids, even numbers when divided by two leave no reminder, which means a “0”, and odd numbers when divided by two leave a reminder of “1”. As you can see in the above image, even numbers such as 2, 4, 6, and 8 can be completely paired up and leave 0 chocolates, whereas odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, and 7 can not be paired up and leave a reminder of 1 chocolate.

Odd Numbers from 901 to 1000 [Infographics]Properties of Odd NumbersWell, as everything has its own kind of properties and rules, even odd numbers have a set of properties that apply to all the odd numbers that you may come across, like odd numbers 1 to 1000. Given below are the properties of odd numbers and their detailed explanation:
For example: 5 (odd) + 1(odd) = 6 (even)
For example: 9 (odd) – 3 (odd) = 6 (even)
For example: 3 (odd) x 9 (odd) = 27 (odd)
For example: 51 (odd) ÷ 5 (odd) = 11 (odd) Let’s try summarising the properties to make them easy to remember. Arithmetic Operation Results Odd + Odd Even Odd – Odd Even Odd x Odd Odd Odd ÷ Odd Odd Types of Odd NumbersOdd numbers are a list of numbers that are not multiples of 2. It’s a large set of numbers. Here are two types of odd numbers: 1. Consecutive Odd NumbersLet’s assume “n” is an odd number and its consecutive odd number will be “n + 2”. When we arrange odd numbers in ascending order, we can see that the odd numbers always have a difference of 2 and are consecutive. For example, the numbers 3 and 5, 15 and 17, 49 and 51, and so on are called consecutive odd numbers because they have a difference of 2, such as 5-3 = 2 and 51-49 = 2 2. Composite Odd NumbersA composite means that it is the result of several parts or factors. Composite odd numbers are formed by two smaller positive odd integers. For example, the composite odd numbers from 1 to 100 are 9, 15, 21, 25, 27, 33, 35, 39, 45, 49, 51, 55, 57, 63, 65, 69, 75, 77, 81, 85, 87, 91, 93, 95, and 99. Odd Numbers Solved ExamplesList all the odd numbers greater than 2 and smaller than 30. Sol: The odd numbers between 2 and 30 are: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29. Show that the sum of two odd numbers is an even number. Sol: Let us assume that 2n + 1 and 2k + 1 are the two odd numbers. The sum of two numbers is: (2n + 1) + (2k + 1) = (2n + 2k) + 2 = 2(n + k + 1) Let N = n + k + 1, 2(n + k + 1) = 2N. ∴ The sum of two odd numbers is an even odd i.e., 2N. Practice Odd Numbers WorksheetDownload the Worksheet FAQ'sMost Frequently Asked Questions About Odd Numbers Odd numbers can be negative? Yes, odd numbers are integers, and an integer can be positive or negative. We can say that odd numbers can be either positive or negative. For example, if you see on the number line, odd numbers can be written as -7, -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5,… so on. What is the easiest way to find odd numbers? The easiest way to find odd numbers is to see whether that particular number is divisible by 2 or not. If the number leaves a remainder of 1, it is an odd number. There is no difficult or easy way of finding odd numbers. For every number, you will have to divide it by 2 to know if it is an even or odd number.
ConclusionThe concept of numbers is vast. We have covered the concept of odd numbers and the concepts related to odd numbers. Finding an odd number is easy as long as you look for the remainder of that particular number. Many kids find it difficult to understand the concepts of number systems like prime numbers, even numbers, and natural numbers, though they are explained in math classes. |
