How would you explain that the product of any two consecutive number is even?

If we take two consecutive numbers then one of them is always even and other is odd.
And product of an even and an odd number is always even.
Reason:
Let us say the even number be m and the odd number be n.
The even number m can be expressed as 2 x p, where p is some natural number.
Now, a thing to remember!
"For two natural numbers q and r, q is divisible by r if we can express q as r x s where s is some natural number."
Product of m and n = m x n = 2 x p x n.
It can be seen that the result is divisible by 2. And if a product is divisible by 2 then it means the product is even.

Is it that 3 consecutive whole number can be prime factors Explain?
3 consecutive numbers cannot be prime factors. Any three consecutive numbers would include at least one even number. The only even prime number is 2, and (2,3,4) doesn't qualify.
Find two consecutive negative integers whose product is 90?
-9 or -10Two consecutive negative integers that can be multiplied together with a product of 90 would be -9 and -10. A number sentence for this equation would be: -9 X -10 = 90.
How can you find 3 consecutive even numbers?
If you add two to any even number you will get the next consecutive even number. The simplest way would be to start with the number two, so the sequence would be 2,4,6.
What any two consecutive numbers add up to make 12?
Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
What three consecutive odd numbers have a product of 29667?
Let's assume the first odd number is x. Then the next two consecutive odd numbers would be x + 2 and x + 4. The product of these three numbers is x(x + 2)(x + 4) = 29667. By trial and error, we find that x = 51 satisfies this equation. Therefore, the three consecutive odd numbers are 51, 53, and 55.
What is two consecutive numbers with a product of 395?
No whole number would fit (their product would be even for starters).

What is the product of 35 on consecutive integers?
Consecutive odd integers would be 5 and 7.
Would a consecutive number be a prime number?
No, it would not.
How can you find 3 consecutive even numbers?
If you add two to any even number you will get the next consecutive even number. The simplest way would be to start with the number two, so the sequence would be 2,4,6.
How do you make 92 with consecutive numbers?
Adding consecutive pairs of numbers will always turn out to be an odd number. It would have to be consecutive odd numbers: 45 and 47.
What any two consecutive numbers add up to make 12?
Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
What three consecutive odd numbers have a product of 29667?
Let's assume the first odd number is x. Then the next two consecutive odd numbers would be x + 2 and x + 4. The product of these three numbers is x(x + 2)(x + 4) = 29667. By trial and error, we find that x = 51 satisfies this equation. Therefore, the three consecutive odd numbers are 51, 53, and 55.
What equation would represent the product of two consecutive even integers that equal 224?
14*16 = 224
Is 22 a perfect square. Explain your answer?
No it is not. 22 is not a perfect square because it is not a product of a rational number multiplied by itself. The closest perfect square would be 25
What are two consecutive even integers whose some is 217?
There are none because two consecutive even integers would add up to an even number and the number given of 217 is an odd number.
