Can anyone please check my work of this proof? (Number Theory)

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a proof in number theory regarding divisibility. The original poster seeks clarification on a specific part of their proof, particularly the phrase "it follows that..." in the second sentence. A suggestion is made to rephrase it for clarity, stating "then c = ud, a = vd and (u,v)=1." Additionally, a reminder is given to future contributors to submit their work as text rather than as images or PDFs. The focus remains on improving the clarity and structure of the proof.

I'm not clear on your "it follows that..." in the 2nd sentence. Better to say "then c = ud, a = vd and (u,v)=1." and work from there.

@Math100, in future threads, please post your work as text, rather than as a photo in a pdf file.
