\n" );
document.write( "but there is no multiple of an even number. I'm not sure what kind of proof method it is but this would be a proof with the same method. i.e prove that the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is divisible by 3 , 2n+1+2n+3+2n+5= 6n+9 3(2n+3) is a multiple of three therefore it is divisible by three.\r
