1.State precisely what’s wrong with the proof of (FC-1).




2. Give a counterexample to (FC-1).




3. False Claim #2: 721 is prime. (FC-2)


Bogus proof of (FC-2). In Example 4.8, we proved that n! + 1 is not evenly divisible by any k satisfying 2 ≤ k ≤ n. Observe that 6! = 720. Therefore, 721 = 6! + 1 isn’t evenly divisible by any integer between 2 and 720 inclusive, and therefore 721 is prime.


1.State precisely what’s wrong with the proof of (FC-2).


2.Without using a calculator, disprove (FC-2).


3.Without using a calculator, find an integer n such that n! + 1 is prime.
