An integer \(b\) is divisible by a nonzero integer \(a\) if and only if there exists an integer \(q\) such that \(b=aq\). An integer \(n>1\) is said to be prime if its only divisors are \(\pm1\) and \(\pm n\); otherwise, we say that \(n\) is composite.
The following are trivial instances of these concepts: Every integer divides 0. (0 = a · 0, a ∈ Z.) Numbers 1 and −1 divide every integer. (b = 1·b and b = (−1)(−b), b ∈ Z.) Every integer is divisible by itself. (b = b · 1, b ∈ Z.) Theorem 1.1 If a | b and b 6= 0, then |a| ≤ |b|.
25 cze 2023 · We say that an integer is divisible by a nonzero integer if there exists an integer such that =. For example, the integer 123456 is divisible by 643 since there exists a nonzero integer, namely 192, such that =.
Theorem: For integers \(a\) and \(b\) with \(b\gt 0\), we have \(a\mid b\) iff \(b\mathop{\mathbf{mod}}a = 0\). Proof: First, if \(a\mid b\), then there is a n integer \(c\) such that \(b=ac\). In the division algorithm, \(c\) is the quotient with a remainder of \(0\).
1 Divisibility. The true nature of number theory emerges from the first definition. We say that a divides. b if there is an integer k such that ak = b. This is denoted a | b. For example: 63 | 7 because. 7 · 9 = 63. A consequence of this definition is that every number divides zero since a·0 = 0 for every integer a.
The following theorem states that if an integer divides two other integers then it divides any linear combination of these integers. [thm4] If \(a,b,c,m\) and \(n\) are integers, and if \(c\mid a\) and \(c\mid b\), then \(c\mid (ma+nb)\).
