Both statements are true.

These should really be asked as two separate questions.

Yes, the sum of any three consecutive integers is divisible by 3. Call the first number "n", the other two will be "n + 1" and "n + 2". Adding everything together, you get 3n + 3, which is equal to 3(n + 1). Since "n" is a whole number, so is "n + 1", and 3 times as much is a multiple of 3.

Two integers are consecutive if one is one more than the other... Well, yes, that's basically the definition of "consecutive".

Is this statement true if the product of two integers is divisible by 6 one of the integers is also divisible by 6?

That is false. This type of statement is only true for prime numbers, not for compound numbers such as 6. Counterexample: 2 x 3 = 6

4 divides 4 (once), but 4 is not divisible by 8. ■


A number is divisible by 6 if and only if it is divisible by 3?

If this is a T-F question, the answer is false. It is true that if a number is divisible by 6, it also divisible by 3. This is true because 6 is divisible by 3. However, the converse -- If a number is divisible by 3, it is divisible by 6, is false. A counterexample is 15. 15 is divisible by 3, but not by 6. It becomes clearer if you split the question into its two parts. A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 3? False. It must also be divisible by 2. A number is divisible by 6 only if it is divisible by 3? True.

Can a theorem have a counterexample?

No, a theorem cannot have a counterexample, as a theorem is a statement that has been proven to be true under a specific set of conditions. A counterexample, on the other hand, demonstrates that a statement or conjecture is false by providing an instance where the statement does not hold. If a counterexample exists, the statement is not a theorem.
