If 1 + i 1 - i m 2 = 1 + i i - 1 n 3 = 1 ,     m ,   n ∈ N then the greatest common…

If 1+i1-im2=1+ii-1n3=1,  m, nN then the greatest common divisor of the least values of m and n is

Solution

1+i1-im2=1+ii-1n3=1

Rationalize both the terms

1+i1-i×1+i1+im2=1+ii-1×-1-i-1-in3=1

1+i2+2i1-i2m2=-1-i2-2i-12-i2n3=1

We know i2=-1

2i2m2=-2i2n3=1

im2=-in3=1

For im2=1 m2=4k m=8k, kI

Since m is natural number so the least value of m is 8.

For -in3=1 n3=4l n=12l, lI

Since n is natural number so the least value of n is 12.

So greatest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4.
