Question

If a number divides three numbers exactly, it must divide their sum exactly.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is True.

Explanation:

It is a general property so it is always true.

E.g., say 3 divides 6, 9 and 12 exactly.

Then, Sum = 6 + 9 + 12 = 27, which is exactly divisible by 3.
