elementary number theory - If aleqb then bc+1 does not divide ab.

Here is my problem:





Let a,b,c be positive integers such that ab. Show that bc+1 does not divide ab.




First I thought I could show that abbc+1<1, but this is not necessarily. I am trying to express it as abbc+1=x+pq where x is an integer and then show that pq0, but I am unable to do so.
