Theorem 10.7. Every finite simple continued fraction represents a rational number.
Proof. We will prove the theorem using mathematical induction. For $n=1$ we have $$\left[a_{o} ; a_{1}\right]=a_{0}+\frac{1}{a_{1}}=\frac{a_{0} a_{1}+1}{a_{0}}$$ which is rational. Now assume that for the positive integer $k$ the simple continued fraction $\left[a_{0} ; a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k}\right.$ ] is rational...

Theorem 10.8. Every rational number can be expressed by a finite simple continued fraction.
Proof. Let $x=a / b$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers with $b>0$. Let $r_{0}=a$ and $r_{1}=b$. Then the Euclidean algorithm produces the following sequence of equations: $\square$ $$\begin{array}{rlrl} r_{0} & =r_{1} q_{1}+r_{2} & & 0<r_{2}<r_{1} \\ r_{1} & =r_{2} q_{2}+r_{3} & 0<r_{3}<r_{2} \\ r_{2} & =r_{3} q_{3}+r_{4}...

Proof. We will prove this theorem using mathematical induction. For $k=0$ we have $$C_{0}=\left[a_{0}\right]=a_{0} / 1=p_{0} / q_{0}$$ For $k=1$, we see that $$C_{1}=\left[a_{0} ; a_{1}\right]=a_{0}+\frac{1}{a_{1}}=\frac{a_{0} a_{1}+1}{a_{1}}=\frac{p_{1}}{q_{1}} .$$ Hence, the theorem is valid for $k=0$ and $k=1$.

Theorem 10.10. Let $k$ be a positive integer, $k \geqslant 1$. Let the $k$ th convergent of the continued fraction $\left[a_{0} ; a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}\right]$ be $C_{k}=p_{k} / q_{k}$, where $p_{k}$ and $q_{k}$ are as defined in Theorem 10.9. Then $$p_{k} q_{k-1}-p_{k-1} q_{k}=(-1)^{k-1}$$
Proof. We use mathematical induction to prove the theorem. For $k=1$ we have $$p_{1} q_{0}-p_{0} q_{1}=\left(a_{0} a_{1}+1\right) \cdot 1-a_{0} a_{1}=1$$ Assume the theorem is true for an integer $k$ where $1 \leqslant k<n$, so that $$p_{k} q_{k-1}-p_{k-1} q_{k}=(-1)^{k-1}$$ Then, we have $$\begin{aligned} p_{k+1} q_...

Proof. Let $d=\left(p_{k}, q_{k}\right)$. From Theorem 10.10 , we know that $$p_{k} q_{k-1}-q_{k} p_{k-1}=(-1)^{k-1}$$ Hence, from Proposition 1.2 we have $$d \mid(-1)^{k-1}$$ Therefore, $d=1$.

Further, we can easily show using mathematical induction that $\alpha_{k}$ is irrational for every $k$. We first note that $\alpha_{0}=\alpha$ is irrational. Next, if we assume that $\alpha_{k}$ is irrational, then we can...

Theorem 10.16. If the two infinite simple continued fractions $\left[a_{0} ; a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots\right]$ and $\left[b_{0} ; b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots\right]$ represents the same irrational number, then $a_{k}=b_{k}$ for $k=0,1,2, \ldots$

Then, since $C_{0}=a_{0}$ and $C_{1}=a_{0}+1 / a_{1}$, Theorem 10.11 tells us that $$a_{0}<\alpha<a_{0}+1 / a_{1}$$ so that $a_{0}=[\alpha]$.

Theorem 10.17. Let $\alpha$ be an irrational number and let $p_{j} / q_{j}, j=1,2, \ldots$, be the convergents of the infinite simple continued fraction of $\alpha$. If $r$ and $s$ are integers with $s>0$ such that $$|s \alpha-r|<\left|q_{k} \alpha-p_{k}\right|$$ then $s \geqslant q_{k+1}$.
Proof. Assume that $|s \alpha-r|0$, because $q_{k} x>0$ and $q_{k}>0$. When $y>0$, since $q_{k+1} y \geqslant q_{k+1}>s$, we see that $q_{k} x=s-q_{k+1} y<0$, so that $x<0$ From Theorem 10.11, we know that either $p_{k} / q_{k}<\alpha<p_{k+1} / q_{k+1}$ or that $p_{k+1} / q_{k+1}<\alpha<p_{k} / q_{k}$.

Proof. If $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational, then $\alpha$ is irrational, and there are integers $A, B$, and $C$ such that $A \alpha^{2}+B \alpha+C=0$. From the quadratic formula, we know that $$\alpha=\frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^{2}-4 A C}}{2 A}$$ Since $\alpha$ is a real number, we have $B^{2}-4 A C>0$, and since $\alpha$...

Proof. From the quadratic formula, we see that the two roots of $A x^{2}+B x+C=0$ are $$\frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^{2}-4 A C}}{2 A}$$ If $\alpha$ is one of these roots, then $\alpha^{\prime}$ is the other root, because the sign of $\sqrt{B^{2}-4 A C}$ is reversed to obtain $\alpha^{\prime}$ from $\alpha$.

Lemma 11.1. If $x, y, z$ is a primitive Pythagorean triple, then $(x, y)=(x, z)=(y, z)=1$
Proof. Suppose $x, y, z$ is a primitive Pythagorean triple and $(x, y)>1$. Then, there is a prime $p$ such that $p \mid(x, y)$, so that $p \mid x$ and $p \mid y$. Since $p \mid x$ and $p \mid y$, we know that $p \mid\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=z^{2}$. Because $p \mid z^{2}$, we can conclude that $p \mid z$ (using problem ...

Lemma 11.2. If $x, y, z$ is a primitive Pythagorean triple, then $x$ is even and $y$ is odd or $x$ is odd and $y$ is even.
Proof. Let $x, y, z$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple. By Lemma 11.1 , we know that $(x, y)=1$, so that $x$ and $y$ cannot both be even. Also $x$ and $y$ cannot both be odd. If $x$ and $y$ were both odd, then (from problem 2 of Section 2.1) we would have $$x^{2} \equiv y^{2} \equiv 1(\bmod 4)$$ so that $$z^{2}=x^{2}+y...

Proof. If $r=1$ or $s=1$, then the lemma is obviously true, so we may suppose that $r>1$ and $s>1$.

Theorem 11.1. The positive integers $x, y, z$ form a primitive Pythagorean triple, with $y$ even, if and only if there are relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n, m>n$, with $m$ odd and $n$ even or $m$ even and $n$ odd, such that $$\begin{array}{l} x=m^{2}-n^{2} \\ y=2 m n \\ z=m^{2}+n^{2} \end{array}$$
Proof. Let $x, y, z$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple. Lemma 11.2 tells us that $x$ is odd and $y$ is even, or vice versa. Since we have assumed that $y$ is even, $x$ and $z$ are both odd. Hence, $z+x$ and $z-x$ are both even, so that there are positive integers $r$ and $s$ with $r=(z+x) / 2$ and $s=(z-x) / 2$. Since...

Theorem 11.3. Let $d$ and $n$ be integers such that $d>0, d$ is not a perfect square, and $|n|<\sqrt{d}$. If $x^{2}-d y^{2}=n$, then $x / y$ is a convergent of the simple continued fraction of $\sqrt{d}$.
Proof. First consider the case where $n>0$. Since $x^{2}-d y^{2}=n$, we see that $(11.3)$ $$(x+y \sqrt{d})(x-y \sqrt{d})=n$$ From (11.3), we see that $x-y \sqrt{d}>0$, so that $x>y \sqrt{d}$. Consequently, $$\frac{x}{y}-\sqrt{d}>0$$ and since $00$, we see that $y / x$ is a convergent of the simple continued fraction e...

Proof. Since $\sqrt{d}=\alpha_{0}=\left[a_{0} ; a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k}, \alpha_{k+1}\right]$, Theorem 10.9 tells us that $$\sqrt{d}=\frac{\alpha_{k+1} p_{k}+p_{k-1}}{\alpha_{k+1} q_{k}+q_{k-1}}$$ Since $\alpha_{k+1}=\left(P_{k+1}+\sqrt{d}\right) / Q_{k+1}$ we have $$\sqrt{d}=\frac{\left(P_{k+1}+\sqrt{d}\right) p_...

Proof. Since $r+s \sqrt{d}=t+u \sqrt{d}$, we see that if $s \neq u$ then $$\sqrt{d}=\frac{r-t}{u-s} .$$ By Theorem 10.1, $(r-t) /(u-s)$ is rational, and by Theorem $10.2 \quad \sqrt{d}$ is irrational. Hence, $s=u$, and consequently $r=t$.

Theorem 2 Let $A$ be a given finite sequence of integers, and $K$ a given positive integer; let $A_{d}$ denote the subsequence of $A$ consisting of all integers divisible by the positive integer $d$, and let $p_{1}, \cdots, p_{s}$ be all the distinct prime factors of $K$, and $\left|A_{d}\right|$ denote the number of i...
Theorem 2 Proof: By Lemma 3, we know $$\sum_{\substack{a \in A \\(a, K)=1}} 1=\sum_{a \in A d \mid(a, K)} \sum_{d \mid} \mu(d)=\sum_{d \mid K} \mu(d) \sum_{\substack{a \in A \\ d \mid a}} 1=\sum_{d \mid K} \mu(d)\left|A_{d}\right| .$$ This proves equation (24), which is also equation (21). Q.E.D.

Example 2 Let $N$ be a positive integer, and $\varphi(N)$ be the number of positive integers in $1,2, \cdots, N$ that are coprime to $N$, then $$\varphi(N)=N \prod_{p \mid N}\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right),$$ where the meaning of the product symbol is given in Chapter 1, §5, Equation (18).
Let $p_{1}, p_{2}, \cdots, p_{m}$ be all the distinct prime divisors of $N$. In Theorem 2, take the sequence $A$ to be $1, 2, \cdots, N, K=p_{1} \cdots p_{m}$. Thus, $\varphi(N)$ is the number of integers in $A$ that are coprime to $K$, i.e., $S(A ; K)$. Note that in this case we have (why) $$\left[p_{i_{1}}, \cdots, p...
