For a positive integar m, let

Zm = {0, 1, ..., m-1}.

Define: +: Zm x Zm -> Zm

   mul: Zm x Zm -> Zm

by taking answers modulo m (e.g., Z6 = {0,1,2,3,4,5} and (3)(5) = 15 modulo 6 = 3). Show that Zm has no divisors of zero <=> m is a prime.

Let n=60, not a product of distinct prime numbers. Let B_n= the set of all positive divisors of n. Define addition and multiplication to be lcm and gcd as well. Now show that B_n cannot consist of a Boolean algebra under those two operators. Hint: Find the 0 and 1 elements first. Now find an element of B_n whose complement cannot be found to satisfy both equalities, no matter how we define the complement operator.

Let A = {−5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3} and define a relation R on A as follows: For all (m, n) is in A, m R n ⇔ 5|(m2 − n2). It is a fact that R is an equivalence relation on A. Use set-roster notation to list the distinct equivalence classes of R. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of sets.) ____________
