If m is divisible by 5, what is the largest number that must be evenly divisible into 5m+25? \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "If m is divisible by 5, m = 5k where k is an integer NOT divisible \n" ); document.write( "by 5. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "So 5m+25 = 5(5k)+25 = 25(k+1) \n" ); document.write( "Therefore 5m+25 is divisible by 25 \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "But that is not the end of the story because \n" ); document.write( "k+1 may also be divisble by 5. \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
