Number theory is aboutNumber theory is about
integersintegers and their properties.and their properties.
We will start with the basicWe will start with the basic
principles ofprinciples of
1.1.Divisibility,Divisibility,
2.2.Greatest common divisors,Greatest common divisors,

DivisionDivision
If a and b are integers with aIf a and b are integers with a ≠≠ 0, we say0, we say
that athat a dividesdivides b if there is an integer c sob if there is an integer c so
that b = ac.that b = ac.
When a divides b we say that a is aWhen a divides b we say that a is a factorfactor ofof
b and that b is ab and that b is a multiplemultiple of a.of a.
The notationThe notation a | ba | b means that a divides b.means that a divides b.
We writeWe write a X ba X b when a does not divide b.when a does not divide b.

Divisibility TheoremsDivisibility Theorems
For integers a, b, and c it is true thatFor integers a, b, and c it is true that
 If a | b and a | c, then a | (b + c)If a | b and a | c, then a | (b + c)
Example:Example: 3 | 6 and 3 | 9, so 3 | 15.3 | 6 and 3 | 9, so 3 | 15.
 If a | b, then a | bc for all integers cIf a | b, then a | bc for all integers c
Example:Example: 5 | 10, so 5 | 20, 5 | 30, 5 | 40, …5 | 10, so 5 | 20, 5 | 30, 5 | 40, …
 If a | b and b | c, then a | cIf a | b and b | c, then a | c
Example:Example: 4 | 8 and 8 | 24, so 4 | 24.4 | 8 and 8 | 24, so 4 | 24.

The Division AlgorithmThe Division Algorithm
LetLet aa be an integer andbe an integer and dd a positive integer.a positive integer.
Then there are unique integersThen there are unique integers qq andand rr, with, with
00 ≤≤ r < dr < d, such that, such that a=dq+ra=dq+r..
In the above equation,In the above equation,
• dd is called the divisor,is called the divisor,
• aa is called the dividend,is called the dividend,
• qq is called the quotient, andis called the quotient, and
• rr is called the remainderis called the remainder..

The Division AlgorithmThe Division Algorithm
Example:Example:
When we divide 17 by 5, we haveWhen we divide 17 by 5, we have
17 = 517 = 5⋅⋅3 + 2.3 + 2.
• 17 is the dividend,17 is the dividend,
• 5 is the divisor,5 is the divisor,
• 3 is called the quotient, and3 is called the quotient, and
• 2 is called the remainder.2 is called the remainder.

Another example:Another example:
What happens when we divide -11 by 3 ?What happens when we divide -11 by 3 ?
Note that the remainder cannot be negative.Note that the remainder cannot be negative.
-11 = 3-11 = 3⋅⋅(-4) + 1.(-4) + 1.
• -11 is the dividend,-11 is the dividend,
• 3 is the divisor,3 is the divisor,
• -4 is called the quotient, and-4 is called the quotient, and
• 1 is called the remainder.1 is called the remainder.

Greatest Common DivisorsGreatest Common Divisors
Let a and b be integers, not both zero.Let a and b be integers, not both zero.
The largest integer d such that d | a and d | b isThe largest integer d such that d | a and d | b is
called thecalled the greatest common divisorgreatest common divisor of a and b.of a and b.
The greatest common divisor of a and b is denotedThe greatest common divisor of a and b is denoted
by gcd(a, b).by gcd(a, b).
Example 1:Example 1: What is gcd(48, 72) ?What is gcd(48, 72) ?
The positive common divisors of 48 and 72 areThe positive common divisors of 48 and 72 are
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24, so gcd(48, 72) = 24.1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24, so gcd(48, 72) = 24.
Example 2:Example 2: What is gcd(19, 72) ?What is gcd(19, 72) ?
The only positive common divisor of 19 and 72 isThe only positive common divisor of 19 and 72 is
1, so gcd(19, 72) = 1.1, so gcd(19, 72) = 1.
