3 GCD A 24-by-60 rectangle is covered with ten 12-by-12 square tiles, where 12 is the GCD of 24 and = mod 12 = 0 60 = mod 12 = 0 More generally, an a-by-b rectangle can be covered with square tiles of side-length d only if d is a common divisor of a and b d a d b d : common divisor the largest d : gcd (greatest common divisor Numbers (8A 3
4 LCM What is the LCM of 4 and 6? Multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76,... and the multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72,... Common multiples of 4 and 6 are simply the numbers that are in both lists: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72,... So, from this list of the first few common multiples of the numbers 4 and 6, their least common multiple is Numbers (8A 4

6 Finding common unit length Euclid's method for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD of two starting lengths BA and DC, both defined to be multiples of a common "unit" length. The length DC being shorter, it is used to "measure" BA, but only once because remainder EA is less than DC. EA now measures (twice the shorter length DC, with remainder FC shorter than EA. Then FC measures (three times length EA. Because there is no remainder, the process ends with FC being the GCD. On the right Nicomachus' example with numbers 49 and 21 resulting in their GCD of 7 (derived from Heath 1908:300. Numbers (8A 6

24 Congruence Etymology Middle English, from Latin congruentia ( agreement, from congruēns, present active participle of congruō ( meet together, agree. Noun: congruence (plural congruences The quality of agreeing or corresponding; being suitable and appropriate. (mathematics, number theory A relation between two numbers indicating they give the same remainder when divided by some given number. (mathematics, geometry The quality of being isometric roughly, the same measure and shape. (algebra More generally: any equivalence relation defined on an algebraic structure which is preserved by operations defined by the structure. Numbers (8A 24
