is
said
to
be
a
integer
pre-mier
if
it
admits
only
two
factors
1
and

The
integer
7
is
a
prime
integer
because
it
admits

not
a
prime
integer
because
it
admits

:

There

To

assume

there

E.8360

an

integer.
Hint:
for
this,
we’ll

separately
:
the

and
the
sum
of
two
odd
integers.

Show

To
do
this,
we

:
1
When

show

The
aim
of
this
exercise
is
to
estab-lish
the
following
proposition
:
Proposition:
Any
natural
integer
n
non-premier
admits
a
prime
di-visor
lying
in
the
interval
2
;
n
.
To
do
this,
let’s
take
a
non-first
natural
number
x
;
then
there
are
two
natural
numbers
a
and
b
greater
than
or
equal
to
2
such
that
:
x
=
a
×
b
Let’s
assume
that
a

smaller
than
b
(this
is
possible
by
re-versing
the
role
of
ˇ
a
ı
and
ˇ
b
ı
if
necessary)
To
show
that
a
belongs
to
the
interval
2
;
x
we’ll
reason
by
the
absurd.
To
do
this,
let’s
assume
that
the
integer
belongs

Justify
the
following
inequality:
a

2
Infer
that
:
a

The
demonstration
ends
from
the
fact
that
a
is
a
divisor
of
x
belonging
to
the
interval
2
;
x
:
either
a
is
prime
;
or
a

not

a
then
admits

these

also
