26.5.4 Proving Sums and Divisibility

Core idea

Hand a sum formula or a divisibility claim to the two-step method and run it through rigorously

Module goal. Provide a rigorous proof tool for statements that must hold for every positive integer n, circling back to the general terms and sum formulas found earlier.
