Introduction to Number Theory and Divisibility

This video introduces number theory, focusing on the concept of divisibility. It explains how divisibility is determined, using integers and the divisibility relation. The video provides examples to illustrate these concepts and tests the truth of various divisibility statements. It concludes with a brief overview of what will be covered in the next lesson.

What is one of the modern applications of number theory mentioned in the video?

• Machine learning

• RSA cryptography

• Blockchain technology

• Quantum computing

In the context of divisibility, what does the notation 'b | a' signify?

• b is less than a

• b is equal to a

• b divides a

• b is greater than a

Which of the following statements is true according to the divisibility relation?

• If m divides n, then n divided by m is not an integer.

• If m divides n, then n is a factor of m.

• If m divides n, then n equals m times some integer k.

• If m divides n, then m is a multiple of n.

What is the result of 15 divided by 3, and what does it imply?

• 5, implying 3 divides 15

• 4, implying 15 divides 3

• 4, implying 3 divides 15

• 5, implying 15 divides 3

Which statement is false: '20 divides 4' or '4 divides 20'?

• '4 divides 20' is false

• '20 divides 4' is false

• Both are true

• Both are false

Why is the statement 'zero divides five' false?

• Because zero is greater than five

• Because five is not a multiple of zero

• Because division by zero is undefined

• Because zero is not a number

What is the result of zero divided by five, and what does it imply?

• Zero, implying five divides zero

• Zero, implying zero divides five

• One, implying five divides zero

• One, implying zero divides five

For which integer x is the statement 'x divides x' always true?

• For all negative integers x

• For all integers x

• For all non-zero integers x

• For all positive integers x

What is the result of 37 divided by 1, and what does it imply?

• 1, implying 37 divides 1
