Let 232 = x and let ( 232 + 1 ) = ( x + 1 )
( 296 + 1 ) = ( x3 + 1 ) = ( x + 1 )( x2 -x + 1 )
Which is clearly divisible by n as ( x + 1 ) is divisible by n.
xn - yn is divisible by x + y and x - y for all n.
712 - 412 is divisible by 7 + 4 and 7 - 4
? 712 - 412 is divisible by 11 x 3 = 33
( 23 - 2) = 6 is the largest natural number that divides ( a3 - a) for every number a.
We can check divisibility of 195 + 215 by 10 by adding the unit digit of 95 + 15 which is equal to 9 + 1 = 10.
So it must be divisible by 10.
Now, for divisibility by 20 we add 19 and 21 which is equal to 40. So, it is clear that it is also divisible by 20.
So 195 + 215 is divisible by both 10 and 20
6x2 + 6x = 6x( x + 1 ) which is clearly divisible by 6 and 12 as x( x + 1 ) is even.
When N is a natural number, then there is only one possible case that N, N + 2, N + 4 are prime numbers.
When N = 3, then N, N + 2, N + 4 = 3, 5, 7 all are primes.
Taking p = 11
2p - 1 = 211 - 1
= 2047
Since 2047 is divisible by 23 it is not prime. Thus, required least positive prime number is 11.
Let the two part be x and (24 - x),
Then, 7x + 5(24 - x) = 146
? 7x + 120 - 5x = 146
? 2x = 26
? x = 13
? First part = x = 13
Let the number be x and (15-x)
Then, x2 + (15 - x)2= 113
? x2 - 15x + 56 = 0
? (x-7) (x-8) = 0
? x = 8 or x = 7
So, the numbers are 7 and 8
Let the number be x,
Then x - 4 = 21/x
? x2 - 4x - 21 = 0
? x2 - 7x + 3x - 21 = 0
? x(x - 7) + 3(x - 7) = 0
? (x - 7) (x + 3) = 0
? x = 7 (Neglecting = -3)
