Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = n³ - n
= n(n² - 1)
= n(n - 1)(n + 1)
= (n - 1)n (n + 1)
1) Now out of three (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
