hey mate!
Step-by-step explanation:
It is true that product of two consecutive +ve integers is divisible by 2 as because of the following reasons:-
Let u consider two consecutive +ve integer as n and another as n-1.
Now, the product of both is n2-n
Case 1
When n=2q ( Since any +ve integer can be in the form of 2q or 2q+1)
n2-n= (2q)2-2q
= 4q2- 2q
It is divisible by 2 as it leaves a remainder 0 after division.
Case 2
When n= 2q+1
n2-n = (2q+1)2 - 2q+1
= 4q2+ 4q+2q+2
= 4q2+ 6q+2
It is divisible by 2
So, in both the case of the consecutive integers, it is divisible by 2
OK
ANY POSITIVE INTIGERS
CAN BE IN THE FORM OF
2Q,2Q+1
IF
THE FIRST NUMBER
IS 2Q THEN OTHER WILL BE 2Q+1
THERE PRODUCT
WILL BE
4Q^2+2Q=2(2Q^2+Q)
SO IT IS DIVISIBLE BY 2
NOW
IF FIRST NUMBER IS 2Q+1
THEN OTHER WILL BE 2Q+2
THEN THE PRODUCT WILL BE
4Q^2+6Q+2=2(2Q^2+3Q+1)
SO THIS ALSO DIVISIBLE BY 2
