Any integer is denoted by n. It will be even if we multiply by 2... That is 2n is an even integer. It will be odd if we add 1 to it... That is 2n+1 is an odd integer. Product of 2 odd integers is (2n+1)(2m+1)=4mn+2n+2m+1=2(2mn+m+n)+1=2p+1 where p is an integer. Hence by the above logic the product is an odd integer.

Thanks Mellie,  

It is good that you gave your source :)

If you had broken your sentences up onto different lines it would have been just a little easier to read.

Just a suggestion :)

It is really good that you are answering so many questions :)
