G.353 many odd numbers — Heath

IX.22

If as many odd numbers as we please be added together, and their multitude be even, the whole will be even.

For let as many odd numbers as we please, / A B /, / B C /, / C D /, / D E /, even in multitude, be added together ;

I say that the whole / A E / is even.

For, since each of the numbers / A B /, / B C /, / C D /, / D E / is odd, if an unit be subtracted from each, each of the remainders will be even ; [G.352]
[G.351]so that the sum of them will be even.
A B C D E
But the multitude of the units is also even.
[G.351]Therefore the whole / A E / is also even.
Q. E. D.
