SMR 3.1 Objectives

  • Prove and use basic properties of natural numbers (e.g., properties of divisibility)
  • Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove results in number theory
  • Know and apply the Euclidean Algorithm
  • Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic (e.g., find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple, show that every fraction is equivalent to a unique fraction where the numerator and denominator are relatively prime, prove that the square root of any number, not a perfect square number, is irrational)
