If m and n are coprime positive integers, prove that φ(n) no(m)-1 (mod mn).
Exercise 2. Let φ denote the Euler totient function. (i) Prove that for all positive integers m and n, if m,n are relatively prime (coprime), then φ(mn-o(m)o(n) (ii) Is the converse true? Prove or provide a counter-example.
5. (a) Let m,n be coprime integers, and suppose a is an integer which is divisible by both m and n. Prove that mn divides a. (b) Show that the conclusion of part (a) is false if m and n are not coprime (ie, show that if m and n are not coprime, there exists an integer a such that mla and nla, but mn does not divide a). (c) Show that if hef(x,m) = 1 and hcf(y,m) = 1,...
Let q be a prime and let m and n be non-zero integers. Prove that if m and n are coprime and q? divides mn, then q? divides m or q? divides n
8. Given integers m and 1<a<m, with am, prove that the equation ar = 1 (mod m) has no solution. (This means that here is no 1 appearing in the multiplication table mod m, in front of any of the divisors of m. That is, if m is composite, and a is a factor of m then a has no multiplicative inverse in mod m.)
1) Let n and m be positive integers. Prove: If nm is not divisible by an integer k, then neither n norm is divisible by k. Prove by proving the contrapositive of the statement. Contrapositive of the statement:_ Proof: Direct proof of the contrapositive
Let n be a positive integer, and let s and t be integers. Then the following hold. I need the prove for (iii) Lemma 8.1 Let n be a positive integer, and let s and t be integers. Then the following hold. (i) We have s et mod n if and only if n dividest - s. (ii) We have pris + t) = Hn (s) +Mn(t) mod n. (iii) We have Hr(st) = Hn (3) Men(t) mod n. Proof....
Prove or give a counterexample: For any integers b and c and any positive integer m, if b ≡ c (mod m) then b + m ≡ c (mod m).
Problem 2 (Chinese Remaindering Theorem) [20 marks/ Let m and n be two relatively prime integers. Let s,t E Z be such that sm+tn The Chinese Remaindering Theorem states that for every a, b E Z there exists c E Z such that r a mod m (Va E Z) b mod nmod mn (3) where a convenient c is given by 1. Prove that the above c satisfies both ca mod m and cb mod n 2. LetxEZ. Prove...
Prove that if N = Π. 1 n t such that nk where ni, n2..-m are positive integers, there exsts some integer VN. (Here. ITal ni = ning 4 k nt.) Prove that if N = Π. 1 n t such that nk where ni, n2..-m are positive integers, there exsts some integer VN. (Here. ITal ni = ning 4 k nt.)
Prove: If n and a are positive integers and n=(a^2+ 1)/2, then n is the sum of the squares of two consecutive integers (that is, n=k^2+ (k+1)^2 for some integer k).
