Question 645113: If a, b, c ∈ Z+ and a|bc, does it follow that a|b or a|c?
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a, b, c ∈ Z+ and a|bc, does it follow that a|b or a|c?
----
Yes, because a|bc implies that bc is a multiple of "a".
---
a cannot be a factor of ab unless it is a factor of a or b.
