An Example of Writing an Augument Based on Formal Logic

Theorem:
The product of two even integers is also even.

Proof:
Let m and n be arbitrary integers.
Assume that both m and n are even.

By the definition of even integers, m = 2j holds for some integer j and n = 2k holds for some integer k.
Hence, the product of m and n is expressed as m ⋅ n = (2j) ⋅ (2k) = 2 ⋅ (2jk).
By the definition of even integers, the product m ⋅ n is even.

Therefore, for all even integers m and n, the product m ⋅ n is also even.
