Number Properties Guide : Pg no. 165 Medium Practice : Q2

by xerocoool Thu Jan 02, 2014 6:38 pm

Q.)
x/100 is an integer
Quantity A: x^3
Quantity B: x^2+100

The guide states "Question related to divisibility are only interested in positive integers". Should I be keeping in mind negative multiples/factors as well ?

Thanks,
-X

Hey X,

P.S. Numbers don't have negative factors. Factors are only positive (as the GRE is concerned at any rate).
