a. (gcd(a,b) = 1 ^ gcd(a, c) = 1) = gcd (a, bc) = 1 (Hint: From the given 3s, t, u, v E Z: sa + tb = 1, ua + vc = 1. Multiply and rearrange terms.) b. (a|bc ^gcd(a, b) = 1) = a|c c. gcd(a, b) = gcd(b,rem(a, b), where rem(a, b) is the remainder of a divided by b.

# Prove Each of the Following:

### a. 
\[
(\gcd(a, b) = 1 \land \gcd(a, c) = 1) \Rightarrow \gcd(a, bc) = 1
\]
**Hint:** From the given \(\exists s, t, u, v \in \mathbb{Z}: sa + tb = 1, \; ua + vc = 1\). Multiply and rearrange terms.

### b. 
\[
(a \mid bc \land \gcd(a, b) = 1) \Rightarrow a \mid c
\]

### c.
\[
\gcd(a, b) = \gcd(b, \text{rem}(a, b)), \; \text{where } \text{rem}(a, b) \text{ is the remainder of } a \text{ divided by } b.
