Then, we find that +\begin{align} +a - c = n(q_a - q_c) \\ +a - c = nk +\end{align} +for some integer $k$. + +For the second, we will prove that if $a - c = nk$, when $a$ and $c$ are divided by $n$, +they leave the same remainder $r$. + +From the work we did previously, and by substituting $a-c = nk$, we find that +\begin{align} +a - c = (q_{a}n + r_a) - (q_c_{}n + r_c) \\ +nk = (q_{a}n + r_a) - (q_{c}n + r_c) \\ +nk = n(q_a - q_c) + (r_a - r_c) \\ +n(k - q_a + q_c) = r_a - r_c +\end{align} +and thus $r_a - r_c$ is a multiple of $n$. + +From the inequalities produced previously by Theorem 1.1, if $r_a \geq r_c$ then $0 \le r_a - r_c < n$ +and $-n < r_c - r_a \leq 0$. Else if $r_c \geq r_a$ then $0 \leq r_c - r_a < n$ and $-n < r_a - r_c \leq 0$. + +By combining the two cases, it must be that $ -n < r_a - r_c < n $, and from the above fact that +$r_a - r_c$ is a multiple of n, the only multiple of n in $(-n, n)$ is 0.
