The greatest common divisor c, of a and b, denoted as c = gcd(a, b), is the largest number that divides both a and b. One way to write c is as a linear combination of a and b. Then c is the smallest natural number such that c = ax+by for x, y ∈ N. We say that a and b are relatively prime iff gcd(a, b) = 1. Prove that a and n are relatively prime if and...

Let p and q be any two distinct prime numbers and define the relation a R b on integers a,b by: a R b iff b-a is divisible by both p and q. For this relation R: Show that the equivalence classes of R correspond to the elements of  ℤpq. That is: [a] = [b] as equivalence classes of R if and only if [a] = [b] as elements of ℤpq. you may use the following lemma: If p is prime...
