Here's the Solution to this Question

A relation R on a set A is a partial order iff R is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive. 


We have:

relation is reflexive: aRa - a divides a

relation is antisymmetric: aRb and bRa hold when a=b

relation is transitive: if aRb and bRc then aRc -if a divides b and b divides c then a divides c

So, the relation R is a partial order relation.
