Help plz, needed so much(^_^)
Use Euclid's Division Lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m+1 or 9m+8.
@ahaines14 , @apoorvk , @Eyad or any1 help:)
Itna sannata kyun hai bhai :o
Let us start with the smallest cube number 8 Next number is 27 27 = 9m Next number is 64 64 = 9m + 1 Next number is 125 125 = 9m + 8
Got it ?
But show this by Euclid's Division Lemma @Eyad
@TheViper :lol this is Euclid’s division lemma ... Euclid’s division lemma states that If a positive integer divides the product of two other positive integers, and the first and second integers are coprime, then the first integer divides the third integer.
we knw dt a=bq+r,where 0 </=r<b. here b=3 thrfore r=0,1,2
nw case 1 wer r=0 a=3q a^3=(3q)^3 =27q^3 =9(3q^3) =9m, wer m=3q^3
similarly prove fr case 2 wer r=1 nd case 3 wer r=2
undrstnd??
Oh! I got it thanx both @prasannalakshmi & @Eyad
nytime!!
