Write a formal proof to prove the following conjecture to be true or false. If the statement is true, write a formal proof of it. If the statement is false, provide a counterexample and a slightly modified statement that is true and write a formal proof of your new statement.

4. Let a, b, c be integers. (a) Prove if gcd(ab, c) = 1, then gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1. (Hint: use the GCD characterization theorem.) (b) Prove if gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1, then gcd(ab, c) = 1. (Hint: you can use the GCD characterization theorem again but you may need to multiply equations.) (c) You have now proved that “gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1 if and...
