Expert Answer
Product of any 3 consecutive integers is divisible by 6, so the remainder on division by 6 would be 0.
Proof: Lets take three consecutive integers as n , n+1 and n+2. Now, there are 2 possibilities -
1. Two numbers are odd and one is even.
2. Or two numbers are even and one is odd.
So the even number (irrespective of the fact that there would be 1 or 2 even numbers) is always divisible by two. And one of the odd numbers is divisible by three (remember you are taking three consecutive numbers and every third integer is a number series is divisible by 3). Therefore the product is divisible by two as well as three which means it is divisible by 2 X 3 =6.
