THE GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR AND LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE Definition let a,b Z Where a o or b o

The positive integer d is the greatest common divisor of a and b if and only if 1. The positive integer d is a common divisor of a and b 2. When an integer c is another common divisor of a and b will get that c And written by ( ( Proof since d c( ) ( ( ) ck ) ) so ( ) ( ) d( ) d.1 d;( ) 1 ( ) that is ) , G.C.D d

The positive integer m is the least common multiple of a and b if and only if 1. The positive integer m is common multiple of a and b 2. When an integer c is another common multiple of a and b will get m And written by [ [ ] , L.C.M 1, ) x,y m( Z ) ) + bj( c

The bearing of G.C.D and L.C.M Theorem let a, b Proof since (a, b) Z where a 0 and b 0 will get that (a, b)[a, b]=ab (| |,| |) and [ ] [| | | |]

So we will show when a and b are positive integers. Let [ ] m and m [ ] dx dy b a , we will show that d is G.C.D of a and b and ci, b Z,we will show that yj xi m ax, m by x,y Z

Therefore m Theorem Let a, b, c

; a 0, b 0, c 0 then will get [ca, cb]=c[a, b]

Poof Let [ca, cb]=M, [a, b]=K So M=cai=cbj; (I, j)=1, K=ap=bq and then CK=cap=cbq; (p, q)=1 Considering, 1=ix+jy, x,y , 1=ps+qt, s,t

Hence, CK=capix+cbqjy=(cai)px+(cbj)qy=M(px+qy)........ (1) And, M=caips+cbjqt=(cap)is+(cbq)jt=CK(is+jt)................. (2) According to (1) will get M/CK, (2) will get CK/M But, then M, CK so, [CA, CB]=M=CK=C[A, B] ; a 0 b 0

EXAMPLE prove that (a+ b,[a, b])=(a, b), a,b Proof ( ) let d=(a+ b,[a, b]), m=[a, b], k=(a, b) So, we have x, y, I, j

that make dx=a+ b, dy=m=ai=bj

And, then dxi=ai+bi, dxj=aj+bj so, d/bi, d/aj Thence, (I, J)=1 1=is+jt, s,t Which it make a=ais+ajt, b=bis+bjt Therefore, d/a, d/b that is d/k ( ) we are obvious @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Accuracy always arise from inaccuracy so, you have to create good imagination for Approaching accuracy.
