Let gcd(m,n) = p.
then m = pq and n = pr for some q and r and gcd(q,r) = 1
gcd(m,n) = p as we have chosen
lcm(m, n) = pqr as q and r are co-primes
gcd(m,n) + lcm(m,n) = m + n
$=>p + pqr = pq + pr$
$=>1 + qr = q + r$
$=>qr - q -r + 1= 0$
$=>(q-1)(r-1) = 0$
q =1 mean n is divisible by m
or r =1 meand m is divisible byn
hence proved
