You are given that n is a positive integer. By expressing (x^2n)-1 as a product of factors, prove that (2^2n)-1 is divisible by 3.

X 2n -1 = (x n +1)(x n -1) Therefore we can say 2 2n -1 = (2 n +1)(2 n -1) . As 2 n is always even, a multiple of 3 is always either going to be 1 above or 1 below it, e.g. 3 is one below 4 and 9 is 1 above ...
