\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since you are given the product if you used the method above, you will end up getting the correct answer although technically if n is our first number I could have 1 and n+2=3 which are not even. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To be more specific the better way to do it would be let 2n be your first number and 2(n+1) be your second number \r
