By Euclid's division algorithm,
a = bq + r = 4q + r
Take b = 4.
Since, 0 {tex}\leqslant{/tex} r < 4, r = 0,1, 2, 3
{tex} a=4q,4q+1,4q+2 ,4q+3{/tex}
Clearly, a =4q=2(2q) and
4q+2=2×(2q+1)
So 4q and 4q+2 are even
Therefore 4q + 1, 4q + 3 are odd, as they are proceeding numbers of even numbers 4q and 4q+2.
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Any positive odd integer is of form 4q+1 or 4q+3 .Where q is a positive integer.
