Problem Statement

Let be two real numbers x,y, x,y, and a natural number n0 n_0 such that {n0x}={n0y} \{ n_0x \} = \{ n_0y \} and {(n0+1)x}={(n0+1)y}, \{ (n_0+1)x \} = \{ (n_0+1)y \} , where {} \{\} denotes the fractional part. Show that {nx}={ny}, \{ nx \} =\{ ny \} , for any natural number n. n.
