1. If n is a positive integer and r is the remainder when (n – 1)(n + 1) is divided by 24, what is the value of r?(1)2 is not a factor of n. (2)3 is not a factor of n.答案C 怎么思考的呀 请求
(1)2 is not a factor of n. 推出n为奇数则(n – 1)(n + 1)为偶数能被4整除,(n – 1)(n + 1)/24的余数不定 (2)3 is not a factor of n. 推出(n – 1)(n + 1)能被3整除,(n – 1)(n + 1)/24余数也不能定 联合1,2,n可取值除了3的倍数以外的所有奇数,可以取值1,5,7,11,13,17,19,23......那么(n – 1)(n + 1)=0*2, 4*6, 6*8, 10*12....全部可以被24整除
