or m = ···, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Alternate Answer
Let 'a' be a positive integer. On dividing 'a' by 2, let m be the quotient
and be the remainder. Then, by Euclid's divlslon algonthm, we have
a = 2m + r, where
a  r  2 i.e.,

Case II: m = Odd i.e., m = 2k + 1, where k is an odd integer.

Let the number be n.
When the number is divided by 143, leaves 31 as remainder.

 n = 143x + 31, where x is the quotient
 n = 13(11x) + 13(2) + 5

At k = 0, a = 4 (0) 2 -1 = 0 - 1 = -1, which is not divisible by 8, which is

Case II:
n = Odd i.e., n = 2k + 1, where k is an odd integer.
⇒ a = 2k + 1
⇒ a = (2k + 1)2 - 1
⇒ a = 4k 2 + 4k + 1 - 1
⇒ a = 4k 2 + 4k
⇒ a = 4k(k + 1)
At k = -1, a = 4 (-1)(-1 + 1) = 0 which is divisible by 8.
 At k = 0, a = 4 (0)(0 + 1) = 4 which is divisible by 8.
At k = 1, a = 4 (1)(1 + 1) = 8 which is divisible by 8.
