But you missed the point completely! This is a thread for theorems and proofs and to teach the masses.
Now... (view)
Fri 8 Oct, 2004 03:27 pm - I'm glad to see you are enjoying the new tool I gave you. I'll start proving stuff:
gcd(a,b) means the greatest common divisor between a and b. For example gcd(12,8)=4.
