Information provided by the grader: HW1: One mistake happened a lot: on question #16, section 1.4, only 3 students actually showed that the remainder is bs+r (by showing that 0 =< bs+r < bc). Everyone else just showed that a=bct+(bs+r), and assumed it was enough. Comment: On question 28 (section 7.1) a lot of students did the following: m | n, so there is k such that n=km. Then, since Phi is multiplicative, Phi(n)=Phi(k)Phi(m), so Phi(m) | Phi(n). This would be true only if (k,m)=1 (f multiplicative means f(ab)=f(a)f(b) whenever (a,b)=1), what we can not assume in general.
