Math Algebra Elements Of Modern Algebra

Let r 0 = b > 0 . With the notation used in the description of the Euclidean Algorithm, use the result in Exercise 14 to prove that ( a , b ) = r n , the last nonzero remainder. If b > 0 and a = b q + r , prove that ( a , b ) = ( b , r ) .

Let r 0 = b > 0 . With the notation used in the description of the Euclidean Algorithm, use the result in Exercise 14 to prove that ( a , b ) = r n , the last nonzero remainder. If b > 0 and a = b q + r , prove that ( a , b ) = ( b , r ) .

Solution Summary: The author explains the formula used in the Euclidean Algorithm, where r_0=b>0 is the last non-zero remainder.
