Hello could anyone help me prove this Let r s t and v be int
Hello, could anyone help me prove this:
Let r, s, t and v be integers. If gcd(r, s) = t and s divides rv, then s divides tv.
Aside from stating the assumtions I don\'t have a clue what to do next.
Solution
gcd (r,s) = t
that is t is the common factor between the integers r and s
now now s divides rv is true as s and r have a common factor t between them.
now we need to prove that s divides tv
we know that the gcd(r,s) is= t
so t is a factor of both r and s
=> that t we be present within r and s
so as t is a part of both r and s
=> t and r
t and s
are both divisble
=> s divides tv
has been proved.
