a) Let $1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, .., N$ be all the divisors of $N = 2\cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13 \cdot 17 \cdot 19 \cdot 23 \cdot 29 \cdot 31$ (the product of primes $2$ to $31$) written in increasing order. Below this series of divisors, write the following series of $1$’s or $-1$’s: write $1$ below any number that factors into an even number of prime factors and below a $1$, write $-1$ below the remaining numbers. Prove that the sum of the series of $1$’s and $-1$’s is equal to $0$.

The triplet of positive integers $(a,b,c)$ with $a<b<c$ is called a [i]fatal[/i] triplet if there exist three nonzero integers $p,q,r$ which satisfy the equation $a^p b^q c^r = 1$.
As an example, $(2,3,12)$ is a fatal triplet since $2^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot (12)^{-1} = 1$.
The positive integer $N$ is called [i]fatal[/i] if there exists a fatal triplet $(a,b,c)$ satisfying $N=a+b+c$.
(a) Prove that 16 is not [i]fatal[/i].
(b) Prove that all integers bigger than 16 which are [b]not[/b] an integer multiple of 6 are fatal.
