Question 754287: For all integers a,b,and c, if a = b then a/c = b/c.
Provide a counterexample that shows when the statement is false. Show all work to verify that the counterexample really makes the statement false.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The counter-example is whenever c=0, then a/0 = b/0 is meaningless,
because you cannot divide by zero.
