If n is a positive integer prove that when we divide n^2 by 5 we get that r=0,1 or 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In case you are wondering r would be the remainder in elementary divison

OpenStudy (rational):

consider n = 5k, 5k+1, 5k+2, 5k+3, 5k+4

OpenStudy (rational):

work the 5 cases separately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, oops.....I totally should have seen splitting it up that way and not the way I did....lol thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will close when I fully solve

OpenStudy (rational):
