Ahow that any positive integer is of the form 4n, 4n+1 or 4n+3, where n is a integer?​

Answer»

ANSWER:

As PER Euclid's division lemma

if a and b are two positive integers then

a = bq+r

where 0 is LESS than or equal to r and r is less than b

let positive INTEGER be a.

and b= 4

hence a=4q+r

where r is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than 4.

hence r can be either 0,1,2 or 3

if r = 1

our equation becomes

a=4q+r

a=4q+1

this will always be an odd integer.

if r=3

a=4q+r

a=4q+3

this will always be an odd integer

therefore, any odd integer is of the form 4q+1 or 4q+3

hence proved

hope it helps

plz mark this as the brainliest answer.
