let a and b any positive integer where b=3. by using this theorem a=bq+r where q>0. r=0,1,2 because 0 <r<3.therefore a=3q(or)3q+1(or)3q+2. this is correct because i'm in 10 i wrote this in my homework.so give as brainlist.

let a be any positive integer
then
b= 3
a= bq+r
0≤r<b
0≤r<3
r= 0,1,2
case 1.
r=0
a= bq+r
3q+0
3q
case 2.
r=1
a= 3q+1
3q+1
case3.
r=2
a=3q+2
hence from above it is proved that any positive integer is of the form 3q,3q+1 and 3q+2
