Modular Arithmetic 2. a) 1 | a since a = 1 · a. b) a | 0 since 0 = a · 0. 4. Suppose a | b ‚ so that b = at for some t ‚ and b | c‚ so that c = bs for some s. Then substituting the first equation into the second‚ we obtain c = (at)s = a(ts). This means that a | c‚ as desired. 6. Under the hypotheses‚ we have c = as and d = bt for some s and t . Multiplying we obtain cd = ab(st)‚ which means that ab | cd ‚ as desired. 8. The simplest counterexample is provided by a = 4 and b = c = 2. 10. In

published his paper “On The Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude”‚ in which he defined a complex variable function which is now called the Riemann Zeta Function(RZF). The function is defined as: ζ(s) = Σ 1 ns (1.1) Where n ranges over the positive integers from 1 to infinity and where s is a complex number. To get an understanding of the importance of this function‚ one needs to know some history about it. Dating back to the times of Euclid‚ the prime numbers have been studied in great deal
