please help me with this question
Solution
Proof: -
Say x and y such that
x=l*m*n
and y=l*p*q as factors given l is gcd
then no other no. is common in there prime factorisation
since they have nothing in common so gcd =1
Exam1ple : -
We know gcd(6,9)=3
6=3*2 and 9=3*3
right?
so greatest common multiplier is 3
which means gcd is 3
so if we divide 3(i.e gcd) to both numbers we get 2 numbers which have nothing in common
eg, divide 6 and 9 by their gcd we get 2 and 3 respectively
and gcd of 2 and 3 is 1. So if two numbers are m,n have gcd d then definitely m=d*k and n=d*r for some random numbers k and r which are relatively prime(because if some other is also common then d will not be the gcd)
gcd(m/d,n/d)=gcd(k,r)
