Given:
Dividing a number by 2 always results in a smaller number.
To find:
The counterexample to the given claim.
Solution:
If 0 is divided by is divided by any non-zero real number [tex]a[/tex], then
[tex]\dfrac{0}{a}=0[/tex]
Let us consider the unknown number be 0. Then dividing a number by 2, we get
[tex]\dfrac{0}{2}=0[/tex]
Here, the result is not a smaller number because [tex]0=0[/tex].
Therefore, the counterexample to the given claim is "Dividing 0 by 2".
