Alternative proof of $gcd(a,b)midtext{lcm}(a,b)$

favorite












I proved this problem using the theorem $gcd(a,b)text{lcm}(a,b)=ab$ Let $d=gcd(a,b)$. Then $dmid a$ and $dmid b$. Thus, $a=dr$ and $b=ds$ for some integer $r$ and $s$. Then
$$d(text{lcm}(a,b))=abRightarrow text{lcm}(a,b)=frac{ab}{d}Rightarrow text{lcm}(a,b)=frac{d^2rs}{d}Rightarrow text{lcm}(a,b)=drsRightarrow dmid text{lcm}(a,b)$$
as required.



Is my alternative proof for this problem correct?

Your alternate proof is correct, but you don't need to do all this, you can directly say d|a and a|lcm(a,b).



Hope it helps
