Odd Numbers 1 to 10

Odd numbers can be grouped into types like composite odd numbers and consecutive odd numbers.

 

Composite numbers are those with more than two factors.

 

A composite number that is not divisible by 2 is a composite odd number. For example, 9 is a composite odd number.

 

Pairs of odd numbers with a difference of 2 are consecutive odd numbers. For example, 1 and 3 are consecutive odd numbers. Odd numbers have distinct properties:

 

- Odd numbers always end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

 

- Adding two odd numbers always results in an even number.

 

- Multiplying two odd numbers always results in another odd number.

 

- The square of any odd number is always an odd number.

List of Odd Numbers 1 to 10

Odd numbers are not divisible by 2.

 

To find odd numbers, we use the formula: (2n + 1) where n is an integer.

 

For example, if n = 2, then 2n + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5, which is an odd number.

Fun facts about odd numbers

1. Squaring an odd number, or multiplying an odd number by itself, always results in an odd number. For example, the square of 3 is 3 * 3 = 9, which is an odd number.

 

2. Adding odd numbers starting from 1 results in a perfect square. For example, adding odd numbers from 1 to 3: 1 + 3 = 4, which is a perfect square.

 

3. Prime numbers are numbers with only two factors, 1 and the number itself.

 

Let’s take a look at the list of odd numbers from 1 to 10: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

Sum of Odd Numbers 1 to 10

For the sum of odd numbers, a simple formula is used

 

- Sum of odd numbers = n^2 Here, n = 5 because there are 5 odd numbers from 1 to 10.

 

Substitute n = 5 into the formula, we get The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 10 = (5)2 = 25

Subtraction of Odd Numbers 1 to 10

When you subtract one odd number from another, the result is always an even number. Odd – Odd = Even

 

Example: 7 – 1 = 6 From the above example, 7 and 1 are odd numbers.

 

When we subtract 1 from 7, we get 6, which is an even number.

 

Odd Prime Numbers 1 to 10

 

Prime numbers have exactly two factors: 1 and themselves.

 

Prime numbers not divisible by 2 are odd prime numbers.

 

All prime numbers other than 2 are odd numbers. Example of odd prime numbers: 3, 5, 7.

 

Some points to remember for odd numbers are:

 

- The smallest odd prime number is 3.

 

- Excluding 2, all prime numbers are odd.

 

- The smallest positive odd number is 1.

Problem 1

Find the 3rd odd number.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

(2 * 3) – 1 = 6 – 1 = 5 The 3rd odd number is 5.

Explanation

To find the 3rd odd number, we use the formula 2n - 1 where n is the nth number.

 

By substituting n = 3 into the formula, we get the 3rd odd number as 5.

Problem 2

Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 5.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The sum of odd numbers from 1 to 5 is 25.

Explanation

To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 5, we use the formula n2.

 

Here, n = 3 because there are 3 odd numbers from 1 to 5.

 

By substituting n = 3 into the formula, we get 32 = 9.

 

Hence, the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 5 is 9.

Problem 3

Calculate the number of odd numbers divisible by 3 between 1 and 10.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

The number of odd numbers divisible by 3 between 1 and 10 is 2.

Explanation

Odd numbers divisible by 3 between 1 and 10 are 3 and 9. Therefore, there are 2 odd numbers divisible by 3.

Problem 4

Sarah has 9 apples. She gives 3 apples to her friend. How many apples does Sarah have currently?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

9 (odd) - 3 (odd) = 6 (even). Sarah currently has 6 apples.

Explanation

Subtracting 3 apples from 9 apples, we determine the apples Sarah has left: 9 - 3 = 6.

 

This follows the subtraction property of odd numbers, where the difference between two odd numbers is even.
