rand() is generating random numbers incremented by 4 [closed]

I am trying to fill an array with random integer values like below.


int main(){
    srand(time(0)); // initialize rand
    int arraySize = 0;
    //read in a value and store in arraySize
    printf("Enter your array size: ");
    scanf("%d", &arraySize);

    //declare array of arratSize
    int array[arraySize];

    for(int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++){
        array[i] = rand(); 
        printf("%d ", &array[i]);
        }

    printf("\n");

    return 0;
}

The code generates different numbers every time but they are all in increments of 4 increasing.

for example if 5 was entered for the array size the out put was: -271225040 -271225036 -271225032 -271225028 -271225024

Whats going on?
