Lecture 2 - GCDs
In this video we cover the following concepts:
GCD - Let \(a\) and \(b\) be integers, not both zero. A gcd of \(a\) and \(b\) is an integer \(d\) such that
- \(d\mid a\) and \(d \mid b\)
- if \(c \mid a\) and \(c \mid b\) then \(c \mid d\).
Euclidean algorithm
Lemma - If \(c = \mathrm{gcd}(a,b)\) then \(c = ax + by\) for some integers \(x,y\).
