11.5-11.6, due March 28

1. (difficult) It is hard for me to think abstractly about the relatively prime numbers that are introduced here I needed to come up with real examples on my own in order to make sense of the proofs.
2. (reflective) I used to always wonder why the greatest mathematicians loved prime numbers so much, and with the work we keep doing, I can see how these prime numbers are really the building blocks of factorization and many other theorems we are studying.
