Consecutive even numbers

Consecutive even numbers are even numbers that follow each other. They have a difference of 2 between every two numbers.

If n is an even integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be consecutive even numbers.

For example - 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,18 etc.

Consecutive odd numbers

Consecutive odd numbers are odd numbers that follow each other. Like consecutive odd numbers, they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers.

If n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be consecutive odd numbers.

Examples

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, etc.
