Here is the answer to your question. Any positive integer is of the form 2q or 2q + 1, where q is some integer When n = 2q,
n²+n=(2q)²+2q =4q²+2q = 2q(2q+1) which is divisible by 2
when n=2q+1 n²-n=(2q+1)²+(2q+1) = 4q²+4q+1+2q+1 =4q²+6q +2 = 2(2q²+3q+1) which is divisible by 2 hence n²+n is divisible by 2 for every positive integer n

Here is the answer to your question.Any positive integer is of the form 2q or 2q + 1, where q is some integer
When n = 2q,
n²+n=(2q)²+2q
=4q²+2q
= 2q(2q+1)
which is divisible by 2
when n=2q+1
n²-n=(2q+1)²+(2q+1)
= 4q²+4q+1+2q+1
=4q²+6q +2
= 2(2q²+3q+1)
which is divisible by 2
hence n²+n is divisible by 2 for every positive integer n
