1. Let m be a nonnegative integer, and n a positive integer. Using the division algorithm we can write m=qn+r, with 0 <r<n-1. As in class define (m,n) = {mc+ny: I,Y E Z} and S(..r) = {nu+ru: UV E Z}. Prove that (m,n) = S(n,r). (Remark: If we add to the definition of ged that gedan, 0) = god(0, n) = n, then this proves that ged(m, n) = ged(n,r). This result leads to a fast algorithm for computing ged(m,...

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 -
