Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of three consecutive positive integers in divisible by 6.
Let the three consecutive numbers be a, b, c.
Let us know whether these numbers are divisible by 2 and 3.
- From the three numbers, at least one number should be divisible by 2. if a is ÷ by 2, then c will be divisible by 2. if b is ÷ by 2 then a & c won't be divisible by 2. You can check this for any consecutive numbers)
- From the three numbers, exactly one number will be divisible by 3. Take any three numbers you can find the same.
So let me assume a is ÷ by 3, and b is ÷ by 2,
abc = (x/3)(y/2)c
abc = xyc/6 (÷ by 6)
If we take a is ÷ by 2, c will be ÷ by 2, but ÷ by 3
abc = (x/2)(y/3)(z/2)
abc = xyz/12 (÷ by 6)
