Show that if n divides m where m and n are positive integers greater than 1, then a = b (mod m) implies a = b (mod n) for any positive integers a and b. Show that a c = b.c (mod m) with a, b, c and m integers with m≥2 does not imply a = b (mod m). Using the Euclidean Algorithm, find gcd(3084, 1424). Show your working.

1. (a) Show that if n divides m where m and n are positive integers greater than 1, then
a = b (mod m) implies a = b (mod n) for any positive integers a and b.
(b) Show that a·c = b⋅c (mod m) with a, b, c and m integers with m≥2 does not
imply a = b (mod m).
