Question

How do I prove this:

a) Recall that if a ∈ Z and b ∈ N, then there exist q, r ∈ Z so that a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r < b (Theorem 12.10). Prove that a ≡ r (mod b).

b) Prove that r = 0 if and only if b|a. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Let a ∈ Z and b ∈ N, then there exist q, r ∈ Z so that a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r < b

a) To prove a ≡ r (mod b).

Given, a = bq + r 

a-r = bq.

Since
