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,...
8. Define (n) to be the number of positive integers less than n and n. That is, (n) = {x e Z; 1 < x< n and gcd(x, n) = 1}|. Notice that U (n) |= ¢(n). For example U( 10) = {1, 3,7, 9} and therefore (10)= 4. It is well known that (n) is multiplicative. That is, if m, n are (mn) (m)¢(n). In general, (p") p" -p Also it's well known that there are relatively prime, then...
Q18 12 Points For any positive integer n, let bn denote the number of n-digit positive integers whose digits are all 1 or 2, and have no two consecutive digits of 1. For example, for n - 3, 121 is one such integer, but 211 is not, since it has two consecutive 1 's at the end. Find a recursive formula for the sequence {bn}. You have to fully prove your answer.

Show that if n is a positive integer and a and b are integers relatively prime to 1 such that (On(a), On(b))1, then Show that if n is a positive integer and a and b are integers relatively prime to 1 such that (On(a), On(b))1, then
I got a C++ problem. Let n be a positive integer and let S(n) denote the number of divisors of n. For example, S(1)- 1, S(4)-3, S(6)-4 A positive integer p is called antiprime if S(n)くS(p) for all positive n 〈P. In other words, an antiprime is a number that has a larger number of divisors than any number smaller than itself. Given a positive integer b, your program should output the largest antiprime that is less than or equal...

(3.5) Summing the Euler S-function (n): The Euler 6-function 6(n) counts the number of positive integers less than or equal to n, which are relatively prime with n. Evaluate 4(d), and prove that your answer is correct. (3.4) Relatively Prime Numbers and the Chinese Re- mainder Theorem: Give an example of three positive integers m, n, and r, and three integers a, b, and c such that the GCD of m, n, and r is 1, but there is no...
