SOLUTION :     Let a be any odd positive integer and  b = 7  By division  Lemma there exists integers q and r such that 

                         \ a=7q+r , \ Rightarrow 0leq r< 7

  ⇒  a = 7q  or , a =7q+1 or , a =7q + 2 or, a=7q+3 or, a=7q+4 or, a =7q+5 or , a =7q +6    ⇒( r = 0,1,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 )

⇒ Hence, any odd integer is of the form  7q+1 ,7q+2 ,7q+3 , 7q+4 ,7q+5 ,7q+6
