... infinitely many primes, it still makes sense to ask the question “What is the largest known prime?” This is page i Printer: Opaque this Elementary Number Theory: Primes, Congruences, and Secrets William ... q = 1 and r = 986. Notice that if a natural number d divides both 2261 and 1275, then d divides their difference 986 and d still divides 1275. On the other hand, if d...

... example, √ 2 and i/2 are algebraic. A complex number is said to be transcendental if it is not algebraic. Both e and π are transcendental. It is in general extremely difficult to prove a number transcendental, ... aby = b. But p | pxb and p | aby (since p | ab). Hence p | b.  Theorem 1.3 Suppose n ∈ N, n > 0. Then n is expressible as a product of prime numbers, n = p 1 p 2 ···p r...

... Algorithm). If a and b are integers and b>0 then there exist unique integers q and r satisfying the two conditions: a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r<b.(5.1) In this situation q is called the quotient and r is ... values of a and b using a calculator. Illustrate by using a = 123456 and b = 123. Hint: If a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r<bthen a b = q + r b and so r b is the fractional part o...

... natural numbers n. Solution: The statement is evident for n = 1, as k 2 − 1 = (k − 1)(k + 1) is divisible by 8 for any odd natural number k because both (k−1) and (k + 1) are divisible by 2 and one ... is good, then 2n + 8 and 2n + 9 are good. For assume that n = a 1 + a 2 + ···+ a k , and 1 = 1 a 1 + 1 a 2 + ··· + 1 a k . Then 2n + 8 = 2a 1 + 2a 2 + ··· + 2a k + 4 + 4 and 1 2a 1...
