Proposition 8. Let m be any integer. If 5|(7m), then 5|m.
Special directions: You can not use your previous knowledge about prime factorization or prime
numbers beyond the definition (primes only have two positive divisors).
Note: This is a simplified version of "If p is prime and p|(ab), then p|a or pl6." This theorem is used
to prove that integers have a prime factorization, which is why we are not using prime factorization
to prove this proposition.
Hint: There are going to be several ways to prove this. One way is to find integers x and
make 5x + 7y
