Which of the following is the best way to PROVE or DISPROVE the statement "Every integer greater than 1 has a prime divisor." Show that if there is a positive in- teger greater than 1 with no prime divisors, then a contradiction will Find an integer n greater than 1 that has no prime divisor arise on smallest such integer. Show that the numbers (n + 1)! + 2, (n + 1)! + 3, Show that every composite num- ber has a prime divisor. (n+1)! +n +1 are all composite numbers.

5) Prove that the sum of two fourth powers of integers can never be three more than a multiple of 4. In other words, prove that it is not 4 4 possible for n +m =4 k + 3, for integers n, m and k. [Hint: Consider fourth powers of even and odd integers.]

Every positive integer is always divisible by 1 and by itself. That is, for every posi- tive integer n we always have 1|n and n|n. We say an integer p ≥ 2 is a prime number if its only divisors are 1 and p. (By convention, 1 is not a prime number.) (a) List the first ten prime numbers. (b) If a positive integer n is not prime, then it is called a composite number. Show that every positive integer n ≥ 2 can be written as a product of prime numbers. (This is called a prime factorization of n. Notice that some primes may need to be repeated. For example, 180 = 2² × 3² × 5 and the primes 2 and 3 are repeated.) Hint: Consider two separate cases based on whether a given number n is prime or composite. For composite numbers, suppose by strong induction that all smaller integers have a prime factorization.
