Question: if b divides a and c divides a, does (b+c) divide a? Include proof
Asked by lori
No, (b+c) does not divide a. Proof: Let a = 6, b = 3, and c = 2. Since b = 3 divides 6 and c = 2 divides 6, it appears that (b+c) = 5 should divide 6. However, 6 / 5 = 1.2, and 6 is not divisible by 5. Thus, (b+c) does not divide a.
