    The counter-example is 1 * 2 = 2

    A counter-example is used to give some instance where a conjecture fails.

    1 multiplied by 2 results in 2.

    1 and 2 are consecutive integers, yes, but 2 is a prime number and it is not composite. So this conjecture is not always true.

    This is a counter-example: We used the conditions to get a contradictory outcome to this conjecture of "The product of any two consecutive integers is a composite number".
