Put your console.log inside the loop. Add 2 to i on each iteration

for(var i = 2; i <= 24; i = i + 2 ){
  console.log(i);
}

They way you are currently coding your answer you would be multiplying 2 * 2 , 4 * 2, 8 * 2 ect. You are skipping a bunch of values by multiplying. If you add 2 instead you dont skip any values.
