Prove that one of every consecutive positive integer is divisible by 7 |
|
Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: let n, n+1, n+2 be the three consecutive POSITIVE integers. we KNOW that n is in the form of 3q, 3q+1, 3q+2. Case -1, when n=3q n is divisibe nut n+1 & n+2 are not divisible. Case-2, when n=3q+1 , n+2= 3q+3= 3(q+1) it is divisible by 3 but n+1 & n are not divisible by 3 Case-3, when 3q+2 , n+1= 3q+3 = 3(q+1) it is divisible by 3 but n+2 & n are not divisible. HENCE none of the situation is possible for 3 consecutive no divisible by 3 |
