When multiplied together, an odd number and an even number will always produce an odd number. Two consecutive numbers consist of one odd number and one even number, so their product is always an odd number.
N-n-n-no! Any number multiplied by an even number yields an even product. Ever;y even number can be expressed as 2*M for some M. If we multiply 2*M by Y, the product is 2*M*Y = 2*(M*Y) which is even.
So the right answer is: They don't! The product of two consecutive numbers is always even.

The sum of consecutive integers will always be odd. Consecutive odd numbers will be even. 299 + 301 = 600
Since one of the numbers will be even and the other odd, the sum will always be odd.
No such numbers exist; the product of two odd numbers is always odd.
No, the sum of two consecutive numbers is always an odd number, and is not divisible by two.
