Answer» a Buddy.....♡ Let a be a given integer. On DIVIDING a by 6 , we get Q as the quotient and R as the remainder such that a = 6q + r, r = 0,1,2,3,4,5 when r=0 a = 6q,even no when r=1 a = 6q + 1, odd no when r=2 a = 6q + 2, even no when r = 3 a=6q + 3,odd no when r=4 a=6q + 4,even no when r=5, a= 6q + 5 , odd no Any positive odd integer is of the form 6q+1,6q+3 or 6q+5. |
