If and is a solution of , then show that is also a solution.[Hint: Theorem 2.2]
Use the method outlined in the text to represent 7 and 8 as elements of . Show that the product of these representatives inis. If you use the Chinese Remainder Theorem as in the text to convertto integer form, do you get 56? Why not? This example shows why the method won't work when the product of theis less than the answer to the arithmetic problem in question. Also see Exercise 5.
Question: -If and ,prove that [Hint: -If then use theorem ]
(Ancient Chinese Problem) A gang of 17 bandits stole a chest of gold coins. When they tried to divide the coins equally among themselves, there were three left over. This caused a fight in which one bandit was killed. When the remaining bandits tried to divide the coins again, there were ten left over. Another fight started, and five of the bandits were killed. When the survivors divided the coins, there were four left over. Another fight ensued in which four bandits were killed. The survivors then divided the coins equally among themselves, with none left over. What is the smallest possible number of coins in the chest?
