Exercise 111.49.7. Give an example of a Weil divisor D on a variety which is not the Weil divisor associated to any Cartier divisor and such that nD is NOT the Weil divisor associated to a Cartier divisor for any n > 1. (Hint: Consider a cone, for example X : xy - zw = 0 in \mathbf{A}^4_ k. Try to show that D = [x = 0, z = 0] works.)
