Can anyone please check my proof for this number theory problem?

In summary, the best way to determine if your proof is correct is to have someone else check it, such as a fellow mathematician, professor, or student with experience in number theory. It's important to include enough detail in your proof for the reader to understand your reasoning, but avoid including unnecessary details. Asking for help and feedback is encouraged to improve your proof-writing skills, and reading proofs from textbooks or papers can also be helpful.

A valid proof should clearly state the problem, provide a logical and organized argument, and use proper mathematical notation and terminology. It should also be easy to follow and understand.

4. How long should my proof be?

The length of a proof can vary depending on the complexity of the problem. It is more important to focus on the quality and clarity of your proof rather than its length.
