Consecutive Odd Integers

Consecutive odd integers are odd integers that come one right after another in the sequence of odd numbers. Like consecutive even integers, consecutive odd integers are separated by 22 units. If the first odd integer is nn, then:

  • nn = 1st integer
  • n+2n + 2 = 2nd consecutive odd integer
  • n+4n + 4 = 3rd consecutive odd integer

and so on. The algebraic representation is identical in form to that of consecutive even integers — using increments of 22 — because both even and odd numbers are spaced two apart within their respective sequences.
