Question

If p is an even number, then what would be the consecutive even number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

p+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have p as an even no. for eg. if we take p = 2 then the consecutive even no. is 4 and to get that we will have to add +2 to 2 wiz.2+2=4 so as we have assumed p=2 then p+2=4 which is the next consecutive even number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a prime number ends with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 in units place.

And the consecutive difference between them is of 2. (e.g. 8-6, 6-4, 4-2, 2-0)

Therefore, if p is an even number, then the next consecutive even number will be p+2.

Therefore, if p is an even number, then the previous consecutive even number will be p-2.
