Answer:

GCD(a,b) is multiple of d. It means d divides GCD(a,b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b are two unknown numbers.

If d divides a and d divides b, then a and b are multiple of d.

[tex]a=d\cdot m=dm[/tex]

[tex]b=d\cdot n=dn[/tex]

where, m and n are integers.

The greatest common divisor of a and b is

[tex]GCD(a,b)=d\cdot m\cdot n[/tex]

[tex]GCD(a,b)=d\cdot mn[/tex]

GCD(a,b) is multiple of d. It means d divides GCD(a,b).

Hence proved.
