$(m,n)=1$, what could $(3n-4m, 5n+m)$ be?

$begingroup$


This is what I have so far:
let's say $d$ is the common divisor of $3n-4m$ and $5n+m$, then $d$ divides $5(3n-4m)-3(5n+m)=-23m$ and $3n-4m+4(5n+m)=23n$. $d$ can't be a divisor of both $m$ and $n$, so 23 must divide $d$. But is this the greatest common divisor of $3n-4m$ and $5n+m$?

    In my understanding your conclusion does not look correct, because $d$ can divide both $m$ and $n$, and in that case it is equal to $1$. Otherwise, it divides $23$, hence it is either $1$ or $23$.

You have the right idea - eliminate $n$ and $m,,$ but your conclusion is misworded (reversed). It should state that $23$ must be divisible by $d$ (not $23$ must divide $d$) since $$,dmid 23m,23niff dmid (23m,23n)! =! 23(m,n)! =! 23 {rm by} (m,n)=1$$



Remark $ $ We can use linear algebra language, i.e. use Cramer's rule to solve for $,m,n,$ below



$qquadqquadqquad$ $ begin{eqnarray}
3 n, - 4,m & = & i\[.3em]
5,n +, 1,m &=& j end{eqnarray}quadRightarrowquad
$
$
begin{align}
23,n &= , i +, 4,j \[.3em]
23,m, &=, -5,i + 3,j end{align} $



Thus by RHS: $,dmid i,j,Rightarrow, dmid 23m,23n,Rightarrow, dmid 23 $ as above. More generally this method yields



Theorem $ $ If $rm,[x,y]overset{A}mapsto [X,Y],$ is linear then $: rm(x,y)mid (X,Y)mid color{#90f}Delta, (x,y), color{#90f}{Delta := {rm det}, A}$



e.g. $ $ in OP we have $,color{#90f}{Delta =bf 23},$ so the above yields $ (3n!-!4m,5n!+!m)midcolor{#90f}{bf 23}(n,m) = 23$

using the map $ [n,m]mapsto [3n!-!4m,,5n!+!m] $ i.e.



$$ [n,,m],mapsto, [n,,m],underbrace{begin{bmatrix}3 & 5\ -4 &1end{bmatrix}}_{large det A, =, color{#90f}{bf 23}} =, [3n!-!4m,,5n!+!m]$$

$begingroup$

If $m=3$ and $n=4$, the greatest common divisor of $3n-4m=0$ and $5n+m=23$ is $23$.



If $m=1$ and $n=1$, the greatest common divisor of $3n-4m=-1$ and $5n+m=6$ is $1$.



Your argument is good, but the conclusion is wrong: you prove that $d$ can be a divisor of $23$. Thus it is either $1$ or $23$.

By Bezout we have $An+Bm=1$, multiply this by $23$ and create some terms
begin{eqnarray*}
20An+4Am-4Am+3An+20Bm-15Bn+15Bn+3Bm=23.
end{eqnarray*}

Now factorise
begin{eqnarray*}
(4A+3B)(m+5n) +(A-5B)(3n-4m) =23.
end{eqnarray*}

So if $(4A+3B,A-5B)=1$ then $(m+5n,3n-4m)=23$ and



and if $(4A+3B,A-5B)=23$ then $(m+5n,3n-4m)=1$.

    By Bezout we have $An+Bm=1$, multiply this by $23$ and create some terms
    begin{eqnarray*}
    20An+4Am-4Am+3An+20Bm-15Bn+15Bn+3Bm=23.
    end{eqnarray*}

    Now factorise
    begin{eqnarray*}
    (4A+3B)(m+5n) +(A-5B)(3n-4m) =23.
    end{eqnarray*}

    So if $(4A+3B,A-5B)=1$ then $(m+5n,3n-4m)=23$ and



    and if $(4A+3B,A-5B)=23$ then $(m+5n,3n-4m)=1$.
