Answer Expert Verified
Every integer when squared leaves a the remainder 0 or 1 when divided by 4. So, every even integer squared leaves a remainder 0 when divided by 4. And every odd integer squared leaves a remainder 1 when divided by 4. Hence, any integer squared leaves a reminder 0 or 1 when divided by 4.
Answer:
1st way
Every integer when squared leaves a the remainder 0 or 1 when divided by 4. So, every even integer squared leaves a remainder 0 when divided by 4. And every odd integer squared leaves a remainder 1 when divided by 4. Hence, any integer squared leaves a reminder 0 or 1 when divided by 4.
2nd way
Let the integer be ”x”
The square of its integer is “x2”
Let x be an even integer x = 2q + 0 x2 = 4q2
When x is an odd integer
x = 2k + 1 x2 = (2k + 1)2 = 4k2 + 4k + 1 = 4k (k + 1) + 1 = 4q + 1 [q = k(k + 1)]
It is divisible by 4
Hence it is proved
