a−2∣4⇒a−2∈{±1,±2,±4}  ⇒a∈A:{−2,0,1,3,4,6}  a−3∣6⇒a−3∈{±1,±2,±3,±6}  ⇒a∈B:{−3,0,1,2,4,5,6,9}  A∩B=C:{0,1,4,6}  so a−2∣4 and a−3∣6 if and only if a∈C

$$\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{2}\mid\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{2}\in\left\{\pm\mathrm{1},\pm\mathrm{2},\pm\mathrm{4}\right\} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}\in\mathrm{A}:\left\{−\mathrm{2},\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4},\mathrm{6}\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{3}\mid\mathrm{6}\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{3}\in\left\{\pm\mathrm{1},\pm\mathrm{2},\pm\mathrm{3},\pm\mathrm{6}\right\} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}\in\mathrm{B}:\left\{−\mathrm{3},\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{4},\mathrm{5},\mathrm{6},\mathrm{9}\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{A}\cap\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{C}:\left\{\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{4},\mathrm{6}\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{2}\mid\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{3}\mid\mathrm{6}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{a}\in\mathrm{C} \\ $$
