Write the cubes of 5 natural numbers which are of the form 3n+1(eg 4,7,10,.......) and verify the following:“The cube of a natural number of the form 3n+1 is a natural number of the same from i.e. when divided by 3 it leaves the remainder 1’

Answer»

First 5 natural numbers in the form of ( 3n + 1) are = 4 , 7 , 10 , 13 , 16 

Cube of these numbers are, 

= 43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 

= 73 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343 

= 103 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 = 133 = 13 × 13 × 13 = 2197 

= 163 = 16 × 16 × 16 = 4096 

We find that all these cubes gives remainder 1 when divided by ‘3’ 

Hence, statement is true.
