Question

Prove or disprove (with a counterexample and explanation) each of the following claims. (a) If n is a positive integer and a and b are integers such that n|ab and n - a, then n|b. (b) Let a, b, d, n ∈ Z with n ≥ 1. Suppose d > 0. If a ≡ b (mod n) and d|n, then a ≡ b (mod d).

          Prove or disprove (with a counterexample and explanation) each
of the following claims.
(a) If n is a positive integer and a and b are integers such
that n|ab and n - a, then n|b.
(b) Let a, b, d, n ∈ Z with n ≥ 1. Suppose d > 0. If a ≡ b
(mod n) and d|n, then a ≡ b (mod d).

00:01 Here in a it is given that n belongs to positive integer and n by ab and n by a.
00:11 Okay, so here ab is equal to k1n and a equal to k2n where k1 and k2 belongs to integer.
00:26 Okay.
00:26 Now let assume that here a is equal to 6 and b is equal to 2 and n is equal to 3...
