document.write( "Every even integer can be written as 2n where n is any integer even or odd.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Every odd integer is one more than an even integer, so every odd integer can be\r\n" );
document.write( "written as an even integer, 2n, plus 1 or 2n+1, where n is any even integer,\r\n" );
document.write( "even or odd.  (Note: 0 is considered an even integer)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the product of an even integer and an odd integer is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2n times 2n+1 or\r\n" );

document.write( "2n(2n+1)\r\n" );
