Question
Transcribed Image Text:Use the Euclidean algorithm to find two sets of integers (a, b, c) such
that
55a65b+143c:
Solution
= 1.
By the Euclidean algorithm, we have:
143 = 2.65 + 13 and 65 = 5.13, so 13 = 143 – 2.65.
-
Also, 55 = 4.13+3, 13 = 4.3 + 1 and 3 = 3.1,
so 1 = 13 — 4.3 = 13 — 4(55 – 4.13) = 17.13 – 4.55.
Combining these, we have:
1 = 17(143 – 2.65) - 4.55 = −4.55 - 34.65 + 17.143,
so we can take a = − −4, b = −34, c = 17. By carrying out the division
algorithm in other ways, we obtain different solutions, such as
19.55 23.65 +7.143, so a = = 9, b -23, c = 7.

[Note that 13.55 + 11.65 - 10.143 0, so we can obtain new solutions by
adding multiples of this equation, or similar equations.]
