Answer:
let -
a=n3-n
= n(n2-1)
=n(n-1)(n+1)
=(n-1)n(n+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Now out of there (n-1),n and (n+1) one must be even so a is divisible by 2
2)Also (n-1),n and (n+1) are three consecutive integers thus as proved a must be divisible by 3
from (1)and (2)
a must be divisible by 2×3=6
Hence n3-n is divisible by 6 for any positive integer n...
