# RSA encrypting private keys blinding

I am studying RSA couldn't understand this question:

Alice encrypts the private factors of the modulus using her private key. In order to increase security, she multiplies them with a random integer $$k$$ she performs the following operations

$$cp = (k \cdot p)^e \bmod n \text{ and } cq = (k\cdot q)^e \bmod n,$$

n =

Why this is not secure as anyone who obtains $$cp$$ or $$cq$$ can factor n.

Factor $$n$$ assuming

cp =

It is a simple Mathematics rule, given $$cp, e$$, and $$n$$ we have this relation:
$$(k \cdot p)^e \equiv cp \bmod n$$, then we can write this modular relation as;
$$k^e \cdot p^e = cp + l\cdot n$$, for some $$l \in \mathbb{Z}$$
$$p$$ divides $$n$$ that we already know, and from the equality, $$p$$ also divides the $$np$$
