Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Given, a is divisible by b.
Let b = p1 × p2, where p1 and p2 are primes.
Since, a is divisible by b, a is a multiple of b
i.e. a = mb
⇒ a = m(p1)(p2)
or a = cp2 = dp1, where c = mp1, d = mp2
⇒ a is a multiple of p1 as well as p2.
Hence, a is divisible by each factor b.
