a. Let n,m in Z>0. Prove: (Z/nZ) x (Z/mZ) isomorphic to (Z/lcm(n,m)Z) x (Z/gcd(n,m)Z). Hint: you can use the following property: let n1, n2 ... nt be positive whole numbers, such that for all indices i !=j gcd(ni, nj) = 1. Let N = n1 * n2 .. * nt, then Z/NZ isomorphic to (Z/n1Z) x (Z/n2Z) ... x (Z/ntZ).  b. Give an explicit isomorphism between Z/4Z x Z/6Z -> Z/12Z x Z/2Z
