On the set N of all natural numbers, a relation R is defined as follows: `AA n,m in N, n R m` Each of the natural numbers `n` and `m` leaves the remainder less than 5.Show that R is an equivalence relation. Also, obtain the pairwise disjoint subsets determined by R.

Answer» Reflexive
`a in N`
`aRa`
Symmetric
`a,b in N`
`aRb->`remains=0,1,2,3,4.
`bRa`->remains=0,1,2,3,4.
Transitive
`a,b,c in N`
if aRb and bRc->aRc
Relation R is equality.
These 5 sets are pair while disguise
`A_0uuA_1uuA_2uuA_3uuA_4=N`.
