Ta có:
\(\dfrac{x}{x+y+z+t}< \dfrac{x}{x+y+z}< \dfrac{x}{x+y}\)
\(\dfrac{y}{x+y+z+t}< \dfrac{y}{x+y+t}< \dfrac{y}{x+y}\)
\(\dfrac{z}{x+y+z+t}< \dfrac{z}{y+z+t}< \dfrac{z}{z+t}\)
\(\dfrac{t}{x+y+z+t}< \dfrac{t}{x+z+t}< \dfrac{t}{z+t}\)
Cộng vế với vế ta được:
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x+y+z+t}{x+y+z+t}< \dfrac{x}{x+y+z}+\dfrac{y}{x+y+t}+\dfrac{z}{y+z+t}+\dfrac{t}{x+z+t}< \dfrac{x+y}{x+y}+\dfrac{z+t}{z+t}\)
\(\Rightarrow1< \dfrac{x}{x+y+z}+\dfrac{y}{x+y+t}+\dfrac{z}{y+z+t}+\dfrac{t}{x+z+t}< 2\)
\(\Rightarrow1< M< 2\)
=> M không là số tự nhiên
