Consecutive Even Integers

Consecutive even integers are even integers that come one right after another in the sequence of even numbers. Because even numbers are spaced two units apart, each consecutive even integer is obtained by adding 22 to the previous one rather than 11. If the first even integer is nn, then:

  • nn = 1st integer
  • n+2n + 2 = 2nd consecutive even integer
  • n+4n + 4 = 3rd consecutive even integer

and so on. This algebraic pattern mirrors the one used for general consecutive integers, except the common difference between successive terms is 22 instead of 11.
