Proposition 12.8. If gcd(n, a) =
= 1 and n|(a b) then n|b.
Proof. Suppose that gcd(n, a) = 1 and n divides a b. By Bézout's
Lemma, nx+ay = 1 for some x, y = Z. Multiplying both sides by b we
get nxbaby b. Since n divides both terms on the left, it divides b
as well.
The following statement is known as Euclid's lemma (or Euclid's
first theorem). It appears as Proposition 30 in Book VII of Euclid's
Elements, written c. 300 BC.
