Abstract

Factors and multiples, tables and long division – students who are relieved at mastering these in numbers are confounded when the same topics rear their head in algebra. Here is a nice collection of problems that allow students to play with algebraic expressions and study them through the lens of divisibility. Throughout this article, the letter n stands for a natural number. The problems are arranged in two sets; those in Set 1 can be easily attempted by students in middle school who have a reasonable comfort level with algebra. Those in Set 2 are advanced problems for which knowledge of the factor theorem is also required.
