For any two numbers a and b, there exists q and r such that

a = bq + r  .... Using euclid division algorithm

Here 0 <= r < b

Taking b = 6, a = 6q + r

where 0 <= r < 6

This means r can take the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

When r = 0, 2, 4 the value of a will be 6q, 6q+2, 6q+r which are even

When r = 1, 3, 5

a = 6q + 1, a = 6q + 3, a = 6q + 5 are all odd numbers.

Hence, any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, 6q + 3 or 6q + 5
