1。一个整数的立方减去这个数一定能被3整除吗？能否证明？

2。下边证明有没有毛病？

设 a=b

则有： a*a-a*b=a*a-b*b
两边因式分解（左边提取公因式，右边平方差公式）：

a(a-b)=(a+b)(a-b)
a=a+b
a=2a
1=2

证毕，结论，１＝２

我幼儿园毕业啊（我劳工倒是初中毕业），不过闲着也闲着，我瞎猫试试

1）不能。比如1
2)a,b不能是0

1。 n.n.n - n = n(n.n - 1) = n(n+1)(n-1), 连着三个数相乘，当然能被3 整除。
2。因为a=b, 所以a-b=0, 0乘以任何数都等于0。也就是等式两边不可以约掉a-b, 0 不可以做商。所以证明有误。

看！有高中毕业的！

为证明扁同志的题目, 你需要证明 n(n+1)(n-1)能被3 整除

Show that for all integers  n >1, n^3 - n  can be divided by 3. (Note: n^3 stands for n*n*n)

Proof:
Let n >1 be an integer
Basis: (n=2)
      2^3 - 2 = 2*2*2 –2 = 6 which can be divided by 3

Induction Hypothesis: Let K >=2 be integers, support that
                                 K^3 – K can by divided by 3.

Now, we need to show that ( K+1)^3 - ( K+1) can be divided by 3
since we have  (K+1)^3  =  K^3 +3K^2 + 3K +1 by Binomial Theorem
Then we have (K+1)^3 – ( K+1) = K^3 +3K^2 + 3K +1 –(K+1)
      = K^3 + 3K^2 + 2K
      = ( K^3 – K)  + ( 3K^2 + 3K)
      = ( K^3 – K)  + 3 ( K^2 + K)
by Induction Hypothesis, we know that k^3 – k  can by divided by 3 which means that k^3 – k  = 3 X for some integer X>0
So we have (K+1)^3 – ( K+1) = ( K^3 – K)  + 3 ( K^2 + K)
= 3X + 3 ( K^2 + K)
= 3(X+ K^2 + K)  which can be divided by 3

Conclusion: By the Principle of Mathematics Induction, n^3 - n can be divided by 3 For all integers  n >1.

第一题估计用数学归纳法很容易解决。

第二题应该很简单

这个题估计现在在国内属于小学数学了。

SORRY, 严重笔误, 改过来了: n^3 应为 n^3 - n.
