For every non-negative integer n, the expression (2n)^4 + 2*(2n)^3 + 4*(2n)^2 + 8*(2n) is divisible by 16.
Enuntiatio — the claim
For every non-negative integer n, the expression (2n)^4 + 2*(2n)^3 + 4*(2n)^2 + 8*(2n) is divisible by 16.
Refuted by Some non-negative integer n makes ((2n)^4 + 2*(2n)^3 + 4*(2n)^2 + 8*(2n)) % 16 nonzero.
