In this exercise you will prove a version of the Chinese Remainder Theorem for three congruences. Let m1,m2,m3 be positive integers such that each pair is relatively prime. That is, gcd(m1,m2) = 1 and gcd(m1,m3) = 1 and gcd(m2,m3) = 1.

Let a1, a2, a3 be any three integers. Show that there is exactly one integer x in the interval 0 x1m2m3 that simultaneously solves the three congruences

x a1 (mod m1), x a2 (mod m2), x a3 (mod m3).

Can you figure out how to generalize this problem to deal with lots of congruences

x a1 (mod m1), x a2 (mod m2), . . . , x ar (mod mr)?

In particular, what conditions do the moduli m1,m2, . . . , mr need to satisfy?
