HI MathRevolution,

MathRevolution
For a,b,d are the positive integers, and d|a means that “a is divisible by d”, if d|ab, which of the following must be true?

A. d|a
B. d|b
C. d|2ab
D. d|(a+b)
E. d|(a-b)


--> d|ab is ab=dk(k=integer) and also 2ab=2dk can be divided by d.
Therefore, the answer is C.

d/ab = k => dk = ab. I dont know how could you give conclusion that ab= dk?

-> Because ab is divisible by d.

Nice question..
Here as AB/D = integer hence 2AB/D = integer
Hence C
