Answer:Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x+1
Let x=2a (even) and x+1 =2a+1(odd)
According to the given question
Product of two integers (x)(x+1)
Case 1: if x is an even number
By putting the values
We have
=2a (a+1)
Check and divide the above expression by 2
= 2a (a+1)/2
We get a (a+1)
Hence it is clearly proved that the product of 2 integers are divisible by 2
Case 2: If x is an odd number
By putting the values x=2a+1
We have
Check: Divide the above expression by 2
We get
Hence proved
