Question

kavya sri said that "The product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2".Will you agree with Kavyasri statement.justify your answer

Answer 1

Yes. I agree.

when you take two consecutive integers, surely one will be even and the other odd. So, when you multiply an even and an odd number, you always get an even number., there fore divisible by 2.

for example, let's take 4 and 5, 4x5 =20, which is divisible by 2.

another example, 67x68=4556, which is also even and divisible by two.
