Divisibility and units #
Main definition #
IsRelPrime x y: thatxandyare relatively prime, defined to mean that the only common divisors ofxandyare the units.
Elements of the unit group of a monoid represented as elements of the monoid divide any element of the monoid.
In a monoid, an element a divides an element b iff a divides all associates of b.
In a monoid, an element a divides an element b iff all associates of a divide b.
In a commutative monoid, an element a divides an element b iff a divides all left
associates of b.
In a commutative monoid, an element a divides an element b iff all
left associates of a divide b.
Units of a monoid divide any element of the monoid.
In a monoid, an element a divides an element b iff all associates of a divide b.
In a commutative monoid, an element a divides an element b iff a divides all left
associates of b.
In a commutative monoid, an element a divides an element b iff all
left associates of a divide b.
x and y are relatively prime if every common divisor is a unit.
