Here's the Solution to this Question

For all integers a, b, and c if a | b and b | c , then prove that a b^{2} | c^{3}

By using definition of divisibility as if a|b can be written in the equation as b=a m, \quad m \in Z and b | c then c=b{n} where, m, n are integer. m, n \in z

\therefore By using definition of divisibility

\therefore we have to prove a b^{2} | c^{3}

\Rightarrow c^{3}=(b n)^{3} \quad \because c=b n\quad as \quad b | c

c^{3}=b b^{2} n^{3} as a \mid b

c^{3}=(a m) b^{2} n^{3}\quad \because b=a m

c^{3}=a b^{2}(m)\left(n^{3}\right) where m, n^{3} \in z

k=\left(\mathrm{mn}^{3}\right)

which means a b^{2}| c^{3} by definition of divisibility.
