- Find the
- Prime factorize
- Get a common prime factor
- Divisors of
ways of having ways of having ways of having ways of having possible combinations
- Every prime is a factor of its factorization
- Let
be written with common primes as: - and
- Then
for all - If
for all - So
- To show that
we need to show that - So
since - This is because with exponents addition is with multiplication like:
not
- This is because with exponents addition is with multiplication like:
- This means that
- This uses monotonicity of primes, which we haven't proven yet.
- Saying that
- Since
and and - Then we have
- Proven
- Solution:
- Suppose
for all - Example:
- See that
- Our needed exponents are
- See that
- Suppose that
- Sub this into
- See that
- so
- Suppose
- If
- Want to show that
for all for some - We know that
and - Since b is a times something, we don't know that the something can be written as the same prime factorization
- So we need to prove: if
then - So there can't be another prime that shows up in the factorization of
- Suppose there is a different prime
that shows up in , then you can conclude it's a factor of then and - So
must be in the factorization of which is a contradiction - This is by the fta
- So there can't be another prime that shows up in the factorization of
- Suppose there's another prime
which divides and which has the same factors as - Which means that
and - Which is a contradiction considering we know that
is already - So this shows a contradiction.
- So
has the same prime factors as - So
- Suppose
and are natural numbers - Using a set of primes:
- Show that
- Let
- Suppose that
has the same prime factors as and . - This means that
and as and - So
and - To show it's the greatest common divisor:
- Proposition that
is the greatest common divisor all other common divisors divide - Suppose
is the greatest common divisor - Let
- For
- Proposition that
- Solution:
- To prove it's a common divisor:
- So by the lemma,
and
- To prove it's the greatest common divisor:
- If
and , then - Write
as a prime factorization: - Since
it must have the same primes as , the same applies to - Now suppose that
and - By the lemma, this means that
and for all - So
- So
- If
- To prove it's a common divisor:
- Let
- Find all solutions to the linear diophantine:
- Euclidean algorithm
- See that the
