01 Why is the product of three consecutive integers divisible by 6?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because one of them is divisible by 2 and one is divisible by 3
Explanation: Step 1: Among two consecutive integers, one is even, so a factor 2 is present. Step 2: Among three consecutive integers, one is divisible by 3, so a factor 3 is present. Step 3: Since 2 and 3 together make 6, the product is divisible by 6.
