Consider the attached tree.
You start from the root, and with each level you create a sub-branch for each of the choices you have.
So, the root has two children, white and multigrain bread.
Each of those children has three children, because you have three meat choices
Each of those children has two children, because you have two cheese choices.
Then, you identify all the sandwiches by choosing a leaf, and read the label that lead you there.
For example, leaf number 4 represents a sandwich with white bread, turkey and provolone.
Answer:
[a,b] divides n
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us denote the least common multiple of a and b [a,b]=m.
We want to prove that m divides n, where n is a multiple of a and b.
We suppose m does not divide n, then by the Division Theorem, there exists q and r integers such that:
(1) ... n=mq+r, where 0<r<m
As n is a multiple of a and b, there exists s and t integers such that:
sa=n and tb=n
Same thing happens to m as it is the least common multiple, there exists u and v such that:
ua=m and vb=m
So (1) has the following form:
n=mq+r ⇒ sa=uaq+r ⇒sa-uaq=r⇒(s-uq)a=r and
n=mq+r ⇒ tb=vbq+r ⇒ tb-vbq=r⇒ (t-vq)b=r
So r is a multiple of a and b, but r<m which is a contradiction as, m is the least common multiple of a and b. So this concludes the proof.
So this means that is and integer.
As m= vb, then is an integer, lets say
=v; and as m=ua, then
=u.
So v=
=a, so
divides a; on the other hand,
u=
=b, so
divides b. From this we can conclude that
is a common divisor of a and b.
