Before

Front

ETH::1._Semester::DiskMat::4._Number_Theory::5._Congruences_and_Modular_Arithmetic::4._The_Chinese_Remainder_Theorem
State the Chinese Remainder Theorem (Theorem 4.19).

ETH::1._Semester::DiskMat::4._Number_Theory::5._Congruences_and_Modular_Arithmetic::4._The_Chinese_Remainder_Theorem
State the Chinese Remainder Theorem (Theorem 4.19).

Let \(m_1, m_2, \dots, m_r\) be pairwise relatively prime integers and let \(M = \prod_{i=1}^{r} m_i\). For every list \(a_1, \dots, a_r\) with \(0 \leq a_i < m_i\), the system \[\begin{align} x &\equiv_{m_1} a_1 \\ x &\equiv_{m_2} a_2 \\ &\vdots \\ x &\equiv_{m_r} a_r \end{align}\] has a unique solution \(x\) satisfying \(0 \leq x < M\).

Why unique: 
If there are two solutions, then, for all \(i\):
\(x \equiv_{m_i} a_i\) and \(x' \equiv_{m_i} a_i\) 
\(\implies m_i \mid( x - x_i)\)
\(\implies\)\(\sum_i m_i \mid (x-x_i)\) b/c \(m_i\) are coprime
\(\implies\)any two solutions differ by a multiple of \(M\)

Why unique: 
If there are two solutions, then, for all \(i\):
\(x \equiv_{m_i} a_i\) and \(x' \equiv_{m_i} a_i\) 
\(\implies m_i \mid (x - x')\) for all \(i\)
\(\implies M = \prod_{i=1}^{r} m_i \mid (x - x')\) since the \(m_i\) are pairwise coprime
\(\implies\) any two solutions differ by a multiple of \(M\)  (so there is at most one solution with \(0 \le x < M\)).
