"2 consecutive odd numbers" means 2 odd numbers whose difference is #2#

an "odd number" is a number when divided by 2 (using integer division) leaves a remainder of 1.

Example: #27# is an odd number, because #27div2 = 13 R:1#

The next odd number after #27# is #29# (the next number after #27# is #28# but it is not odd).
Therefore #27# and #29# are consecutive odd numbers.
