[46.2] Let a1,a2,a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots be a sequence of integers, where there are infinitely many positive integers and infinitely many negative integers. Prove: If for every positive integer nn, the integers a1,a2,,ana_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n} yield distinct remainders when divided by nn, then each integer appears exactly once in the sequence a1,a2,a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots.
