Prove algebraically that the product of an even number and an odd number is always even.

Asked by rkimani080

Answer (2)

The product of an even number and an odd number is always even, as demonstrated by algebraically expressing an even number as 2k and an odd number as 2m + 1. When multiplied, the product results in a term that is a multiple of 2. Thus, it confirms that the outcome is always even.
