prove that the square of every odd positive integer leaves remainder 1 when divided by 8

Parth (parthkohli):

Welcome to OpenStudy! Every odd positive integer can be written in the form \(4q + 1\) or \(4q + 3\). Can you try to consider both cases and square them? You will see that the numbers are of the form \(8m + 1\)
