I had a problem with a proof on group and a poster aided me with the proof.
But I had problems understanding the final implication relates to GCD and Euclid's lemma:
(ak)r=e⇒akr=e⇒n|kr⇒nd|r⋅kd⇒nd|r.
The last implication is due to the fact that gcd(nd,kd)=1 and Euclid's lemma.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
\frac{n}{d}\mid r\cdot\frac{k}{d} means exactly that any prime that divides n/d also divides r\cdot k/d.
Here is where we use Euclid's lemma: if a prime divides the product r\cdot\frac{k}{d}, then it must divide one of the factors. But \gcd(n/d,k/d)=1, so they don't share any prime factors. Therefore, the prime must divide r. This gives \frac{n}{d}\mid r.
