Can you find the fallacy in this mathematical proof that the product of two even integers results in an even integer?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

Let \(a = 2k_1\) and \(b = 2k_2\) so that both a, b are even integers. Therefore, \[ab = 2k_1 \cdot 2k_2 = 4k_1 k_2 = 2 (2k_1 k_2)\] Which is also an even integer. QED
