Step-by-step explanation:
hey mate
we know that any number divisible by 2 can be written as 2n(n is any number)
so suppose we have two consecutive number n and n+1.
here if n is odd then n+1 must be even
and if n is even then it will be easily divisible by 2
so we conclude that
product of two consecutive number is divisible by 2
Hope it helps ✌
