1. Say whether the following is true or false and support your answer by
a proof.
(m )(n )(3m 5n 12)

This is false.

(n, m ) So n 1 and m 1

If (n 1) then 3m 5 12 3m 7 , 3 | 7

If (n 2) then 3m 10 12 3m 2 , 3 | 2

If (n 3) then 5n 15 and 3m 5n 5n So 3m 5n 12

Hence there arent m and n such that 3m 5n 12 Done
