Definition of Odd Number
An odd number is an integer that cannot be written as \(2\) times another integer.
For example, \(11\) is an odd number. The picture shows \(11\) shapes divided up into groups of two. There is one left over. This tells us that \(11\) is odd.
Every odd number has \(1,3,5,7\) or \(9\) as its final digit.
Some examples of odd numbers are \(-579\), \(-5\), \(3\), \(23\) and \(1,542,692,377\).
