OddQ[expr]
gives True if expr is an odd integer, and False otherwise.
MORE INFORMATION
  • OddQ[expr] returns False unless expr is manifestly an odd integer (i.e., has head Integer, and is odd).

Properties & Relations   (2)
An integer is either odd or even. Use EvenQ to check that an integer is even:
Odd integers are not divisible by :
Possible Issues   (1)
Expressions that represent odd integers but do not evaluate explicitly will still give False:
It is necessary to use symbolic simplification first:
