alleryStart learning →Multiplying two odd numbers always gives what type of number?
- Even
- Zero
- Odd
- Neither
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Odd
No factor of 2 appears in either number, so the product also has no factor of 2 and stays odd.

Worked practice questions
Which statement about two consecutive integers is always true?
- Both are even
- Both are odd
- Both are prime
- Parities differ
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Parities differ
Counting alternates between even and odd, so neighbouring integers differ in parity.
A binary integer is odd when its last digit is which value?
- 1
- 0
- 2
- 11
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 1
Only the final binary place has an odd value (1); every higher place is a multiple of 2.
