5. Suppose N > 1.
(i). Prove that N is of the form 4n +1 if every prime factor of N is of the form 4m+1.
(ii). Let p1, P2,..., Pk be primes > 3 which are of the form 4m + 3. Prove that the
number
4p1P2...Pi + 3
has a prime factor > 3 which is of the form 4m + 3 and different from P1, P2,..., Pk.
Conclude that there are infinitely many primes of the form 4m + 3.
