Statement
Given the even numbers $ a $ and $ b $, then $ a * b $ will be even.
Proof
Since every even number is a multiple of two, you can write $ a = 2n $ and $ b = 2m $ where $ n, m \in \Z $.
When you multiply $ a $ and $ b $, you can factor out a $ 2 $.
$$ a * b = 2n * 2m = 4mn = 2 * 2mn $$
Since $ 2mn $ will always be an integer, substitute $ 2mn = k, k \in \Z $.
$$ a * b = 2k $$
From this follows that $ 2k $ is always even, and thus $ a * b $ is always even as well.
