Solution:
Let N=(2k+1)+(2k+3)+⋯+(2k+2n−1) where n and k are integers, n≥2, k≥0. Then
N=[(2k+1)+(2k+2n−1)]2n=(2k+n)n,
which is a product of two integers with the same parity, since adding the even number 2k to the integer n does not change its parity.
1. Since 2005=401⋅5, taking n=5 gives 2k+5=401, i.e. 2k+1=397. Checking, we see that 397+399+401+403+405=401⋅5=2005, so 2005 can be represented as the sum of at least two consecutive odd positive integers.
2. Since 2006=2⋅1003=2⋅17⋅59 is divisible by 2 but not by 4, every pair of integers with a product of 2006 consists of two integers with different parity (i.e. one odd and one even). Therefore 2006 cannot be represented as the sum of at least two consecutive odd positive integers.
