"The product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2".Is this statement true or false ? Give reasons.
Answers
we can say it as true in all cases because ; for example from the above given problem the product of two consecutive positive integers mean the product of an even number and an odd of number ie; always an even number ie for example 2×3=6 or 1×2=2 which is divisible by 2 always but in the case done product with 0 the answer is 0 always . when a number is dividing 0 the quotient is always 0 which is neither even nor odd . At last, we can conclude that the product of any two consecutive numbers is always divisible by 2.
Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other in order. They have a difference of 1 between every two numbers
If we talk about +ve integers, which means one of them is odd and other is even and the product of even odd number is always even which is divisible by 2. So the statement is true.
