Expert Solution
Step 1

What is Divisibility:

Divisibility is the base of number theory. For two given integer with one integer equal to or greater than the other integer, the smaller one can either divide the larger one or doesn't divide. When the remainder is zero, the greater one is referred to as divisible by the smaller one. In that case, there is an integer such that if we multiply the smaller integer with that integer, as a result, we get the greater integer. 

Given:

It is given that d divides a

To Prove:

We prove that dk divides ak for every positive integer k.
