53. Suppose A and Bare both divisible by M. Prove that A^2 B^2 is divisible by M.

A is divisible by M

A=MC

B is divisible by M

B=MD

Assume A^2-B^2 is divisible by M

A^2-B^2
=(MC)^2- (MD)^2
=M^2C^2-M^2-D^2
A^2-B^2=M [C^2-D^2)]
Conjecture is proven to be true, therefore, A^2-B^2 is divisible by M
