dont be silly

Hello,

I would appreciate it if someone can give me an hint
on this one:
Prove/disprove that a 3000X3000 square can be
partitioned into 5X7
rectangles (the rectangles can be mixed, either 5X7
or 7X5).
The question is part of a graph theory course, so I
think the idea is
to module it into a graph, and use any kind of its
properties.

Thank you,
Eliot.

3000 is not a multiple of 7.

so no can do.
