Prove or disprove that If $amid c$ and $bmid c$, then $ab mid c$.

Mathematics Asked by MathyViking on November 18, 2021

So I am not really sure what to do. I know by the definition of divisibility there must exist some integers $k$ and $l$ such that

$$
c= ak   text{ and  } c=bl
$$

But now I am stuck and have no clue where to go from here…

I need to show that $c=ab(text{some integer})$, for it to be divisible, but I do not see the path to take.

One Answer

If $a= b = c > 1$ then $a|c, b|c, ab notmid c$.
