Exercises 28 and 29 refer to the following formal version of the extended
Euclidean algorithm.
**Algorithm 8.4.1 Extended Euclidean Algorithm**
_[Given integers $A$ and $B$ with $A > B > 0$, this algorithm computes
$\text{gcd}(A, B) and finds integers $s$ and $t$ such that
$sA + tB = \text{gcd}(A, B)$.]_
**Input:** $A$, $B$ _[integers with $A > B > 0$]_
**Algorithm Body:**
$a := A, b := B, s := 1, t := 0, u := 0, v := 1\\ \textit{[pre-codndition: } a =
sA + tB \textit{ and } b = uA + vB,\\ \text{gcd}(a, b) = \text{gcd}(A, B)
\textit{]}\\ \textbf{while} (b \neq 0) \\ \ \ \textit{[loop invariant: } a =
sA + tB \textit{ and } b = uA + vB,\\ \ \ \text{gcd}(a, b) = \text{gcd}(A, B)\\ \ \ r:= a \mod b, q := a \text{ div } b\\ \ \ a := b, b := r\\ \ \ \textit{newu } := s - uq, \textit{newv } := t - vq\\ \ \ s := u, t := v\\ \ \ u:= \textit{newu}, v := \textit{newv}\\ \textbf{end while}\\ gcd := a\\ \textit{[post condition: } \text{gcd}(A, B) = a = sA + tB \textit{]}$
**Output:** $\text{gcd}\textit{[a positive integer]}, s, t \textit{[integers]}$
In 28 and 29, for the given values of $A$ and $B$, make a table showing the
values of $s$, $t$, and $sA + tB$ before the start of the while loop and after
each iteration of the loop

31.
a. Find an inverse for $210$ modulo $13$.
b. Find a positive inverse for $210$ modulo $13$.
c. Find a positive solution for the congruence $210x \equiv 8 (\mod 13)$.
32.
a. Find an inverse for $41$ modulo $660$.
b. Find the least positive solution for the following congruence:
$41x \equiv 125(\mod 660)$.
33. Use Theorem 8.4.5 to prove that for all integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, if
$\text{gcd}(a, b) = 1$ and $a | c$ and $b | c$, then $ab | c$.
34. Give a counterexample to show that the statement of exercise 33 is false if
the hypothesis that $\text{gcd}(a, b) = 1$ is removed.
35. Corollary 8.4.7 guarantees the existence of an inverse modulo $n$ for an
integer $a$ when $a$ and $n$ are relatively prime. Use Euclid's lemma to
prove that the inverse is unique modulo $n$. In other words, show that if
$s$ and $t$ are any two integers whose product with $a$ is congruent to $1$
modulo $n$, then $s$ and $t$ are congruent to each other modulo $n$.
In 36, 37, 39, and 40, use the RSA cipher with public key
$n = 713 = 23 \cdot 31$ and $e = 43$. In 36 and 37, encode the messages into
their numeric equivalents and encrypt them. In 39 and 40, decrypt the given
ciphertext and find the original messages.

41.
a. Use mathematical induction and Euclid's lemma to prove that for every
positive integer $s$, if $p$ and $q_1, q_2, \dots, q_s$ are 0rime numbers and
$p | q_1q_2 \cdots q_s$, then $p = q_i$ for some $i$ with $1 \leq i \leq s$.
b. The uniqueness part of the unique factorization theorem for the integers says
that given any integer $n$, if
$$ n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_r = q_1q_2 \cdots q_s $$
for some positive integers $r$ and $s$ and prime numbers
$p_1 \leq p_2 \leq \cdots \leq p_r$ and $q_1 \leq q_2 \leq \cdots \leq q_s$,
then $r = s$ and $p_i = q_i$ for every integer $i$ with $1 \leq i \leq r$.
Use the result of part (a) to fill in the details of the following sketch of a
proof:
Suppose that $n$ is an integer with two different prime factorizations:
$n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_t = q_1q_2 \cdots q_u$. All the prime factors that appear
on both sides can be cancelled (as many times as they appear on both sides) to
arrive at the situation where $p_1p_2 \cdots p_r = q_1q_2 \cdots q_s$,
$p_1 \leq p_2 \leq \cdots \leq p_r$, $q_1 \leq q_2 \leq \cdots \leq q_s$, and
$p_i \neq q_j$ for any integers $i$ and $j$. Then use part (a) to deduce a
contradiction, and conclude that the prime factorization of $n$ is unique
except, possibly, for the order in which the prime factors are written.
42. According to Fermat's little theorem, if $p$ is a prime number and $a$ and
$p$ are relatively prime, then $a^{p - 1} \equiv 1 (\mod p)$. Verify that
this theorem gives correct results for the following:
a. $a = 15$ and $p = 7$
b. $a = 8$ and $p = 11$
43. Fermat's little theorem can be used to show that a number is not prime by
finding a number $a$ relatively prime to $p$ with the property that
$a^{p - 1} \cancel{\equiv} 1(\mod p)$. However, it cannot be used to show
that a number _is_ prime. Find an example to illustrate this fact. That is,
find integers $a$ and $p$ such that $a$ and $p$ are relatively prime and
$a^{p - 1} \equiv 1(\mod p)$ but $p$ is not prime.
