Let a=any integer. If a+(a+1)=2a+1. Any number multiplied by 2 will be even, and if we add 1 to this number, it will be an odd number.
This answer cannot be answered because two consecutive numbers consist of one odd number and one even number, and the sum of an odd number plus an even number is always an odd number.
Consecutive even numbers are any even numbers which are separated by one (uneven) number... so that 6 and 8 are consecutive even numbers... as are 22, 24 and 26. Similarly, consecutive odd numbers are numbers which are separated by one (even) number... so that 11 and 13 are consecutive odd numbers... as are 31, 33 and 35.

The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
The sum of two even numbers is always an even number. The sum of two odd numbers is always an even number.The sum of an even number and an odd number is always an odd number.Because integers alternate between even and odd, adding two consecutive integers will always result the sum of an odd number and an even number, which, as stated above, will always be an odd number.Another way to look at it:An even number is divisible by 2, therefore, 2*n (where n is an integer) is always an even number.2*n+1 would be the next number after 2*n (so 2*n & 2*n+1 are consecutive integers).If we add these numbers together, we get 4*n+1 = 2(2*n)+1. Since 2(2*n) is an even number, adding 1 makes it an odd number._________________________________________________________________________I'm not going to but in or anything, seriously that was a good answer
No, the sum of two consecutive numbers is always an odd number, and is not divisible by two.
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.
Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
ODD NUMBERS. If you take two consecutive whole (non zero) numbers then one will be an odd number and the other will be an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is always an odd number.
Yes because at least one of the consecutive numbers will be even, and if you times anything by an even number, the answer will always be even
Any 2 consecutive will always add up to an odd number and the number given is an even number
A factor is a number of which the number being considered is a multiple. Two consecutive numbers cannot both be multiples of 4, for instance, as there isn't 3 numbers in between them. They cannot in fact be multiples of any common number other than 1. Thus the HCF of two consecutive numbers must always be 1.
No two consecutive numbers have a product that is an even number. Any two consecutive numbers include one odd number and one even number. The product of one odd number and one even number is always an odd number.
And they are the ONLY consecutive prime numbers because if you have one prime number (i.e. 29), then there always is an even number right after the prime number (i.e. 30 comes right after 29), and consecutive means "right next to," right? And we all know that even numbers can always be divided in half, so 2 and 3 are the only consecutive prime numbers.
This answer cannot be answered because two consecutive numbers consist of one odd number and one even number, and the sum of an odd number plus an even number is always an odd number.
Yes.
