Q
If d | a then |d| ≤ |a|:
A
false, every integer divides 0 and all are larger lmao
2
Q
c | a and c | b if and only if c | gcd(a, b):
A
By Bezout’s identity, there exist integers s and t such that gcd(a, b) =
as + bt. Since c | a and c | b if and only if there exist integers e and f
such that a = ce and b = cf , it follows that c | a and c | b if and only if
gcd(a, b) = ces + cf t = c(es + f t)

Q
bezout:
A
gcd(a,b)=as+bt where s and t are integers, to find s,t treat the euclidean algo as equations and a,b as algebra not numbers
4
Q
euclidean algo final answer:
A
the last remainder that’s not 0 lmao
