You are correct that the number 1 is neither odd nor even. In mathematics, a number is considered odd if it is not divisible by 2, and it is considered even if it is divisible by 2. Since 1 is not divisible by 2, it is not considered odd. The rule you are referring to is likely the fact that for a number to be classified as odd, it must be both positive and not divisible by 2. If a number is negative and not divisible by 2, it is also classified as odd. I hope this clarifies your question!
