Prove that if p divides q and r is an integer, then p divides qr.
Supreeta N.
Let $p$ be a prime and $m$ a positive integer. By mathematical induction on $m$, or otherwise, prove that whenever $r$ is an integer such that $p$ does not divide $r, p$ divides ${ }^{m p} C_{r}$,
If $p$ is a prime number, prove that for any integer $a, a^{p}=a \bmod p .$
