Inequality Reciprocals Bc89Fb
1. **Problem statement:** Given that $a > b$ and both $a$ and $b$ are positive numbers, prove that for any natural number $n$, the inequality $\frac{n}{a} < \frac{n}{b}$ holds.
2. **Recall the rule:** For positive numbers, if $a > b > 0$, then $\frac{1}{a} < \frac{1}{b}$. This is because the reciprocal function is strictly decreasing on positive numbers.
3. **Apply the rule:** Since $a > b > 0$, we have
$$\frac{1}{a} < \frac{1}{b}.$$
4. **Multiply both sides by $n \in \mathbb{N}$:** Since $n$ is positive, multiplying preserves the inequality:
$$n \times \frac{1}{a} < n \times \frac{1}{b}$$
which simplifies to
$$\frac{n}{a} < \frac{n}{b}.$$
5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, for any natural number $n$, if $a > b > 0$, then
$$\frac{n}{a} < \frac{n}{b}.$$
