Q. Prove that the products of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2.
Solutions: Let the numbers are a and a-1
Product of these number: 𝑎(𝑎 −1) = 𝑎2 −𝑎
Case 1: When a is even:
𝑎 =2𝑝
then (2𝑝)2 − 2𝑝 ⇒ 4𝑝2−2𝑝
2𝑝(2𝑝 −1).......... it is divisible by 2
Case 2: When a is odd:
𝑎 =2𝑝+1
then (2𝑝 + 1)2 −(2𝑝+1) ⇒ 4𝑝2 +4𝑝+1−2𝑝−1
=4𝑝2+2𝑝⇒2𝑝(2𝑝+1) it is divisible by 2
Hence, we conclude that the product of two consecutive integers is always divisible by 2.
Q. Prove that the product of three consecutive positive integers is divisible by 6
Solution: Let 𝑎 be any positive integer and 𝑏 = 6. By division lemma there exists integers 𝑞 and 𝑟 such that
𝑎 =6𝑞+𝑟 where 0≤𝑟 <6
𝑎 =6𝑞, or 𝑎 =6𝑞+1 or, 𝑎 =6𝑞+2 or, 𝑎 =6𝑞+3 or 𝑎 =6𝑞+4 or 𝑎 =6𝑞+5
Let 𝑛 is any positive integer.
Since any positive integer is of the form 6𝑞 or, 6𝑞 + 1 or, 6𝑞 + 2 or, 6𝑞 +3 or, 6𝑞 +4 or, 6𝑞 +5.
Case 1:
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = 6𝑞(6𝑞+1)(6𝑞+2), which is divisible by 6 .
Case 2:
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 +1, then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = (6𝑞+1)(6𝑞+2)(6𝑞+3)
=(6𝑞+1)2(3𝑞+1)3(2𝑞+1)
=6(6𝑞+1)(3𝑞+1)(2𝑞+1), which is divisible by 6 .
Case 3:
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 +2, then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = (6𝑞+2)(6𝑞+3)(6𝑞+4)
=2(3𝑞+1)3(2𝑞+1)(6𝑞+4)
=6(3𝑞+1)(2𝑞+1)(6𝑞+4), which is divisible by 6
Case 4:
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 +3, then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = (6𝑞+3)(6𝑞+4)(6𝑞+5)
=3(2𝑞+1)2(3𝑞+2)(6𝑞+5)
=6(2𝑞+1)(3𝑞+2)(6𝑞+5), which is divisible by 6.
Case 5 :
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 +4, then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = (6𝑞+4)(6𝑞+5)(6𝑞+6)
=(6𝑞+4)(6𝑞+5)6(𝑞+1)
=6(6𝑞+4)(6𝑞+5)(𝑞+1), which is divisible by 6.
Case 6:
If 𝑛 = 6𝑞 +5, then
𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) = (6𝑞+5)(6𝑞+6)(6𝑞+7)
=(6𝑞+5)6(𝑞+1)(6𝑞+7)
=6(6𝑞+5)(𝑞 +1)(6𝑞+7), which is divisible by 6 .
Hence, 𝑛(𝑛 +1)(𝑛 +2) is divisible by 6.
Q. For any positive integer, prove that 𝑛3 − 𝑛 divisible by 6 .
Solutions:
n3 −n=n(n2−1)=n(n−1)(n+1)
For a number to be divisible by 6, it should be divisible by 2 and 3 both,
Divisibility by 3:
n −1,n and n+1 are three consecutive whole numbers.
By Euclid's division lemma
n +1=3𝑞+𝑟, for some integer 𝑘 and 𝑟 < 3
As, 𝑟 < 3 possible values of ' 𝑟 ' are 0,1 and 2.
If 𝑟 = 0
n +1=3q
⇒n+1 is divisible by 3
⇒n(n−1)(n+1) is divisible by 3
⇒(n3 −n) is divisible by 3
If 𝑟 = 1
⇒n+1=3q+1
⇒n=3q
⇒n is divisible by 3
⇒n(n−1)(n+1) is divisible by 3
⇒(n3 −n) is divisible by 3
If 𝑟 = 2
⇒n+1=3q+2
⇒n+1−2=3q
⇒n−1=3q
⇒n−1 is divisible by 3
⇒n(n−1)(n+1) is divisible by 3
⇒(𝑛3−𝑛) is divisible by 3
Divisibility by 2:
If 𝑛 is even
Clearly, 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)(𝑛 + 1) is divisible by 2
If 𝑛 is odd
⇒n+1 is even
⇒n+1 is divisible by 2
⇒n(n−1)(n+1) is divisible by 2
Hence, for any value of 𝑛,𝑛3 − 𝑛 is divisible by 2 and 3 both, therefore 𝑛3 − 𝑛 is divisible by 6 .
Q. Prove that if a positive integer is of the form 6𝑞 + 5, then it is of the form 3𝑞 + 2 for some integer 𝑞, but not conversely.
Solution: let 𝐴 = 6𝑞 +5, be any number, where 𝑞 is any positive integer.
Part 1: To show 𝐴 is in the form of 3𝑞 + 2, where 𝑞 is another integer
𝐴 =6𝑞+5=6𝑞+3+2=3(2𝑞 +1)+2=3𝑞′+2
As,𝑞 is any positive integer, 𝑞′ = 3𝑞 + 2 is also a positive integer and hence 6𝑞 + 5 is in form of 3𝑞′ + 5
Part 2: To show converse is not true, i.e. if a number is in the form of 3𝑞 + 2, then it may or may not be in the form of 6𝑞 +5
For example, consider: 8 = 3(2) + 2 is in the 3𝑞 + 2 form, but it can't be expand in 6𝑞 +5 form.
