Odd Natural Numbers

Introduction of odd natural numbers:

In mathematics, there are two conventions for the set of natural numbers: it is either the set of positive integers {1, 2, 3,...} according to the traditional definition; or the set of non-negative integers{0, 1, 2, ...} according to a definition first appearing in the nineteenth century.


Odd Natural Numbers:

An odd number is an one kind of integer value that is not consistently divisible by 2. A proper description of an odd number is that it is an integer of the appearance n = 2k + 1, where k is an integer. An even number has the appearance n = 2k where k is an integer.

Properties of odd Natural numbers:

1. Associative law for odd natural numbers:

(x + y) + z = x + (y + z). – Associative law of addition.

(x * y) * z = x * (y * z). - Associative law of multiplication.

2. Commutative law for odd natural numbers:

x + y = y + x. – Commutative law of addition.

x * y = y * x. - Commutative law of multiplication.

3. Cancellation law for odd natural numbers:

If x + y = y + a, then x = y. - cancellation law of addition.

If x * z = y * z, then x = y. - cancellation law of multiplication.

4. Distributive law with multiplication on the left odd natural numbers:

x * (y + z) = x * y + x * z.

5. Distributive law with multiplication on the right odd natural numbers:

(x + y) * z = x * z + y * z.

Examples for Odd Natural Numbers:

Example 1: closure property in addition:

If 1, 3 are natural numbers, and then 1+ 3=4 is also a natural number

And then,

If 1, 3 are natural numbers, and then 1 * 3 = 3 is also a natural number.

Example 2: commutative property in addition:

If 1, 5 are natural numbers, and then 1 + 5 = 5 +1=6 is also a natural number.

And then,

If 1, 5 are natural numbers, and then 1 * 5 = 5 *1= 5 is also a natural number.

Example 3: associative property in addition

If 1, 3, 5 are natural numbers, then 1 + (3 + 5) = (1+ 3) + 5=9 is also a natural number.

And then,

If 1, 3, 5 are natural numbers, then 1 * (3 * 5) = (1* 3) * 5=15 is also a natural number
