There are natural numbers $a,b,c$ such that $ac\mid bc$, while $a\nmid b$.
My answer was False. I substituted numbers for $a,b,c$. But I think I have confused my self. so $a = 2 , b = 4 , c = 6$.

I assumed that $\Bbb N=\{1,2,3,\dots\}$.
Given Statement: $\exists a,b,c\in\Bbb N$ ; $ac|bc\implies a\not|\ \ b$
Negation Statement: $\forall a,b,c\in\Bbb N$, $ac|bc\implies a|b$.
Which of the two statements is true?
We claim that the negation statement is true.
Let $a,b,c\in\Bbb N$ such that $ab|bc$. Then $$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{bc}{ac}\in\Bbb N.$$ This means that $a|b$.
Because the negation statement is true, what can be said to the given statement? The answer is FALSE.
