    Questions on Remainder & Integer Divisibility

    I have 2 questions. 1)what is the remainder with 100! is divided by 103? explain your answer 2)a = 238000 = 2^4 x 5^3 x 7 x 17 and b=299880 = 2^3 x 3^2 x 5 7^2 17. Is there an integer so that a divides b^n? if so what is the smallest possibility for n? the first one i have no...

    Proof by induction: nCr always an integer

    Hello all, I've been asked for a graduate level course to do a proof using induction that shows that nCr always turns out to be an integer. I thought that I might use Pascal's triangle somehow and the fact that nCr is equal to n! / r!(n-r)! (I saw a brief explanation of this while doing a web...

    Why Does Integer Arithmetic in Haskell Seem Inconsistent?

    Can anybody explain what appear to be discrepancies in the way the following expressions are interpreted by Hugs (Haskell98 mode) ? Main> div -6 4 ERROR - Cannot infer instance *** Instance : Num (b -> a -> a -> a) *** Expression : div - fromInt 6 4 Main> div (-6) 4 -2 Main> -6...

    What is the Cost Function for a Long Distance Call?

    I just completed Trigonometry and College Algebra, and I'm heading into Calculus, so i thought i would get a head start on the material. So right now I'm working out of an old calculus book i got at the library. Then i came across this problem: A dial-direct long distance call between two...

    Proving Finite Solutions of phi(x)=n for Fixed Integer n

    for n- fixed integer prove that phi(x)=n has a finite number of solutions I looked at 2 cases when x is even and when x is odd 1) if x is even then phi(2x)>phi(x) and I showed why it has a finite number of solutions 2) I'm not sure how to show for the case when x is odd.. any ideas? thanks :)

    Reciprocal Series of Positive Integer Factors: Convergence & Sum

    The terms of this series are reciprocals of positive integers whose only prime factors are 2s and 3s: 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/6+1/8+1/9+1/12+... Show that this series converges and find its sum. this is my first time writing here. i hope someone can help me with this question.

    Prove that the square of an odd integer

    I'm not a very logical person, and I would hardly consider math a strength so, I'm stuck with these proofs: 1. Prove that every positive integer, ending in 5 creates a number that when squared, ends in 25 2. Prove that if n is an even positive integer, then n^3 - 4n is always divisible by...

    Partition of Integer need advice

    The Q is: show that the number of partitions of n within Z+ where no summand is divisible by 4 equals the number of partitions of n where no even summand is repeated Here is what I got so far Let the partition where no summand is divisible by 4 be P1(x) Let the partition where no even...

    What is Non-Integer Calculus and How Does it Work?

    Seem to remember reading about RF experimenting with non-integer differentiation. I found it quite interesting to play with. I started with 'half' differentiation. e.g. f(x) = x^2 , D[1]f = 2x , D[2]f = 2 but what about non-integer diff? e.g. D[0.5]f = px^1.5 what is p? Clearly...

    Does |A| = k When a is a Complex Number and k is a Positive Integer?

    if a^k =1 and a \in \mathbb{C} k \in Z^+ and for some k A = \{a|a^k = 1\} does |A| = k ? edited: becasue the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers
