Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,2  

k

 is divisor of 72

Finding prime divisors of 72

⇒72=2  

3

×3  

2

 

Now it is given,2  

k

, i.e 2  

3

=8 is a divisor of 72

Therefore, taking k=3

Also given that a  

k+1

, i.e 2  

k+1

 is not a divisor

2  

3+1

=2  

4

=16

Now  

16

72

​  

=  

2

9

​  

 

Hence 2  

k+1

 is not a divisor of 72.

Considering all points, k=3
