where both x and y are greater than 1. Consequently, a positive odd integer can be factored exactly when we can find integers x and y such that n = x² - y². (*Hint*) We can use this fact to factor n by trying different pairs of squares in order to get n as the difference of the two. Of course, we want to do this systematically. So we want to see what values of r and y we actually need to check: Exercise 9.3.12. In the formula n = x² - y² = (x−y)(x+y), what is the smallest possible value for a that needs to be tested? (*Hint*) x There are other special conditions that r and y must satisfy: Exercise 9.3.13. (a) Assuming that n is an odd number, show that if az is odd then y is even, and if a is even then y is odd. (*Hint*) (b) Show that for any odd number m, then mod (m², 4) = 1. (*Hint*) (c) Let m = x + y. Show that m is odd, and that we can rewrite n (x−y)(x+y) as: n = m(m-2y). (d) Show that if mod (n, 4) = 1, then y must be even. (*Hint*) mod (n, 4) = 3, then y must be odd. (*Hint*) (e) Show that if

What is divisibility:
Mathematicians use a set of precise rules called the "divisibility rules" to determine whether a given integer is divisible by a certain number or not. A divisibility rule is a type of shortcut that enables us to determine, without actually completing the division operation, whether a given integer is divisible by a certain number by looking at its digits. The same number can be subjected to many divisibility tests, which can quickly identify its prime factorization. An integer that entirely divides a number, leaving no residue, is referred to as a divisor.
