an integer x has property P provided that all integers a and b, whenever x divides ab, x divides a or x divides b. explain what it means to say that x does not have property P. Solution so property P means ab/x can also be rewritten as (a/x)b or (b/x)a If it does not have property P, that means the communative property doesnt work. so (a/x)b and (b/x)a is not true. So ab cannot be divided by x.
