Let us introduce the notation – we denote the product of all natural numbers from 1 to \(n\) by \(n!\). For example, \(5!=1\times2\times3\times4\times5=120\).
a) Prove that the product of any three consecutive natural numbers is divisible by \(3!=6\).
b) What about the product of any four consecutive natural numbers? Is it always divisible by 4!=24?
For what natural numbers \(a\) and \(b\) is the number \(\log_{a} b\) rational?
