The product of two consecutive positive integer is always an even number, hence will always be divisible by 2
For eg:
3*4=12 (divisible by 2)
12*13=156 (divisible by 2)

PROOF :
Let the two consecutive numbers be n and (n+1)
Their prduct is n(n+1) = n²+n
Substitute any value of n . It will surely be divisible by 2 .
Take any positive integers of your choice .
For example , lets take 6 .
Put the value in the above equation .
6²+6 = 36+6 = 42
Which is divisible by 2
Take any other example....n try it .
