Answer:
n!=n(n-1)(n-2)......×3×2×1
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove:- n³-n is divisible by 6
n³-n=n(n²-1)=n(n+1)(n-1)
n³-n=(n-1)(n)(n+1)
n-1,n,n+1 are 3 consecutive positive integers
We know that the product of n consecutive positive integers is divisible by n!
So,the product of 3 consecutive positive integers is divisible by 3! or 6
n³-n=(n-1)(n)(n+1)
n³-n is the product of 3 consecutive positive integers.
So n³-n is divisible by 6
hence proved
