In this paper we report the first part of a study concerning the use of examples in conjecturing and proving, in Elementary Number Theory. The study was carried out on protocols of university students: we analyzed students' behaviours and we seized different uses of examples among the groups with different mathematical background and relationship with mathematics.

Abstract
In this paper we report the first part of a study concerning the use of examples in conjecturing and proving, in Elementary Number Theory. The study was carried out on protocols of university students: we analyzed students' behaviours and we seized different uses of examples among the groups with different mathematical background and relationship with mathematics.
