Homework Statement


If d=gcd(a,b) show that gcd((a/d),(b/d))=1



Homework Equations


N/A?



The Attempt at a Solution


Basically, I know that I need to show that 1 is a linear combination of a/d and b/d. I'm not exactly sure how to go about this. Dividing by d gives (d/d)=1=gcd(a/d,b/d) if that's correct, does that get me anywhere?
