Expert Answer
If an integer a is divided by b, we get a quotient q and remainder r.
As per eucilides division algorithm, this is expressed as
a = b×q + r
where q is an integer, r is an integer so that 0≤ r < b
let a be any number and we put b =3 ,then we write a = 3q+r ,where r = 0 or 1 or 2
Let r = 0;
a = 3q ; a2 = 9q2 = 3 × 3q2 ;
Hence a2 = 3×m , where m = 3q2
let r= 1;
a = 3q +1 ; a2 = ( 3q+1 )2 = 9q2+6q+1 = 3×(3q2+2)+1 ;
Hence a2 = 3×m +1 , where m = 3q2 + 2
let r= 2;
a = 3q +2 ; a2 = ( 3q+2 )2 = 9q2+12q+4 = 3×(3q2+4q+1)+1 ;
Hence a2 = 3×m +1 , where m = 3q2 + 4q+1
Hence square of any integer a is expressed as either 3m or 3m+1, where m is some integer
