Let a and b be nonzero integers. Prove that a divides b and b divides a if and only if a=±b.
Since this is a iff statement, I need to prove it both ways:
⇒ If a=±b, then a divides b and b divides a; and
⇐ If a divides b and b divides a, then a=±b.
I tried to prove it but I don't know how to manage the ± sign, can anyone give me a hit or suggestion to start this proof?
Thanks
