(Hint: Use Exercise 25 to obtain such that . Then choose to be the least integer such that . With these choices of and , show that and then that .) If and are positive real numbers, prove that there exist a positive integer such that . This property is called Archimedean Property of the real numbers. (Hint: If for all , then is an upper bound for the set . Use the completeness property of to arrive at a contradiction.)arrow_forwardProve that if p and q are distinct primes, then there exist integers m and n such that pm+qn=1.arrow_forward
