And also why they so specific about the d9-d8 part

you should see d8 d9 are in the middle

there's a bit of casework to do, which you can plan how to write properly

what is k(k+22)?

#

why did you make this expression

fast wharf
#

Using counter example but didn't know how to continue

#

it's something to prove so it should be right

#

why would you make the expression k(k+22) if you don't know what that is for?

#

can you use that to tell what possible values of d8 you can try?

say you have a number like 24, your factors in order are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
what's special about the middle two factors?

#

They are coprime

#

Uhh

#

My bad im wrong

#

think about the idea of factors coming in pairs

#

there's a pretty natural way to "pair up" factors

think about this and how it relates to the question
