Given: A= {1,2,3,4,6} 
R = {(x,y)|x divides y} 
If there is an integer ¢ such that b=ac, then a divides b. For example, a|b

When x divides y, we then add the ordered pair (x,y) to R.
Keep in mind that an integer can be divided by itself.
R = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1, 4), (1,6), (2,2), (2,4), (2,6), (3, 3), (3,6), (4,4), (6,6)}
