1. Let a, b,cE Z be positive integers. Prove or disprove each of the following (a) If b | c, then gcd(a, b) gcd(a, c). (b) If b c, then ged(a., b) < gcd(a, c)
PROBLEM 1 For each of the following pairs of integers, use the Euclidean Algorithm to find ged(a,b), and to write gcd(a,b) as a linear combination of a and b, i.e. find integers m and n such that gcd(a,b) = am + bn. (a) a = 36, b = 60. (b) a = 12628, b = 21361. (c) a = 901, b = -935. (d) a = 72, b = 714. (e) a = -36, b = -60.

Question 2. Let a, b, c be natural numbers. (a) Suppose that g specific a, b, c eN where d > g. ged(a, b) ged(b, c). Let d ged(a, c); prove that d > g. Provide an example of (b) Let d gcd(a, b). By definition of the ged being a divisor of a, b, this implies that we may write a and b jd for some j,k E N. Prove that ged(j, k) = 1. kd -
This Question must be proven using mathematical induction 1: procedure GCD(a, b: positive integers) 2 if a b then return a 3: 4: else if a b then 5: return GCD (a -b, b) 6: else return GCD(a,b-a) 8: end procedure Let P(a, b) be the statement: GCD(a, b)-ged(a,b). Prove that P(a, b) is true for all positive integer a and b.
Question 3 (a) Write down the prime factorization of 10!. (b) Find the number of positive integers n such that n|10! and gcd(n, 27.34.7) = 27.3.7. Justify your answer. Question 4 Let m, n E N. Prove that ged(m2, n2) = (gcd(m, n))2. Question 5 Let p and q be consecutive odd primes with p < q. Prove that (p + q) has at least three prime divisors (not necessarily distinct).
For number 25, can someone explain to me how they got (2^(ab-b)+2^(ab-2b)+2^(ab-3b)+...+(2^(ab-ab)) and how they reached to that conclusion? For number 29, can someone explain to me how "it can't be greater than the greatest common divisor of a-b and b"? I would think that gcd(a, b) would be greater than gcd(a-b, b) because "a" and "b" are bigger than "a-b" and "b" so that confused me. Thank you! 25. Ifn e N and 2n - 1 is prime, then...
