Explanation Proof: Use mathematical induction on n . Let S n be the statement 7 n − 1 is divisible by 6 Base case : n = 1 To prove that the statement is true for n = 1 . 7 1 − 1 = 6 Clearly, it is divisible by 6. Therefore, the statement is true for n = 1 . Induction hypothesis : n = k Assume that the claim is true for n = k . That is, 7 k − 1 = 6 m , for some positive integer m Thus 7 k = 6 m + 1 . Inductive step : n = k + 1 To prove that the statement is true for n = k + 1
