Could somebody answer part (1) and (2)? C. Properties of Relatively Prime Integers Prove the following, for all integers a, b, c, d, r, and s. (Theorem 3 will be helpful.) 1 If there are integers r and s such that ra + sb = 1, then a and b are relatively prime. 2 If gcd(a, c) = 1 and c | ab, then c | b. (Reason as in the proof of Euclid?s lemma.) 3 If a|dSolution
1.
Proof by contradiction. a and b are not relatively prime.
Hence, a and b share a common factor, call it m.
For any integers n and p, a = mn and b = mp.
ar + bs = 1
(mn)r + (mp)s = 1
m(nr + ps) = 1
nr + ps = 1/m
Contradiction since the sum of nr and ps, both integers, should result in an integer value yet
1/m is not an integer.
Hence, a and b are relatively prime.
2.
Proof by contradiction. Suppose that b is not divided by c.
Then, ab is divided by c. Since b is not divided by c, a must be divided by c.
But a and c are relatively prime because gcd(a, c) = 1.
Thus, contradiction.
Hence, b must be divided by c.
