8.17 A common formulation of the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is as follows: Let m1,..., mk be integers that are pairwise relatively prime for 1 i, j k, and i j. Define M to be the product of all the mi"s. Let a1,..., ak be integers. Then the set of congruences:
x = a1(mod m1)
x = a2(mod m2)
.
.
.
x = ak(mod mk)
has a unique solution modulo M. Show that the theorem stated in this form is true.
