Suppose we have positive integers a, b, and c, such that that a and b are not relatively prime, but c is relatively prime to both a and b . Let n = s × a + t × b be some linear combination of a and b, where s and t are integers. Prove that n cannot be a divisor of c.   Follow the definition of relative primes, and use contradiction.
Show that (p ∧ q) ∨ ( p ∧ q) ≡ p using rules.
Prove that for all integers a, b, and c, with a ̸= 0, if a|b and a|c, then a|(bx + cy).
