Let $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$ \ {$0$} with $gcd(a, b) = 1$ and let $c \in \mathbb{Z}$. Show the equivalence:
$ab|c \iff a|c$ and $b|c$
Also give an example of numbers $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$ \ {$0$} and $c \in \mathbb{Z}$ with $gcd \not= 1$ where the equivalence above does not hold
My work(for the first part)
Write $ax+by=1$, $c=aa'$, $c=bb'$. Let $t=b'x+a'y$.
Then $abt=abb'x+baa'y=c(ax+by)=c$ and so $ab \mid c$.
an also I am stuck on the example. Any help is appreciated
Take a = 6, b = 8, c = 24. Clearly a divides c and b divides c, but ab does not divide c.
