I tried some ideas but in the end, noticed that I was assuming that $n=mk$ and $(m,k)=1$, this was not assumed in the question. Now I am stuck as to how to proceed.

@JohnOmielan I don't quite understand the answer in there. – Red Banana Nov 06 '20 at 07:18
The best person to explain the answer is the OP, so I suggest leaving a comment under that answer asking specifically about whatever you don't understand. – John Omielan Nov 06 '20 at 16:32
@BillyRubina Agree with asking OP (me) to explain the answer. You should specify what you don't understand. – Calvin Lin Nov 06 '20 at 16:49
