    An integer a is even mean a = 2n for some integer n

    An integer b is an multiple of 3 if b=3m for some integer m.

    So for a * b is multiples of 6,

    Suppose a=2n and b=3m for some integers, n, m.

    Then ab=2n*3m=6 (n*m).

    As n*m is an integer,

    we get

    ab=6 (n*m), which is a multiple of 6.

    Hence Proved
