Euclidean - Number Theory

Number Theory

  • Euclidean division, the division with produces a quotient and a remainder
  • Euclidean algorithm, a method for finding greatest common divisors
  • Extended Euclidean algorithm, a method for solving the Diophantine equation ax + by = d where d is the greatest common divisor of a and b.
  • Euclid's lemma: if a prime number divides a product of two numbers, then it divides at least one of those two numbers.
  • Euclidean domain, a ring in which Euclidean division may be defined, which allows Euclid's lemma to be true and the Euclidean algorithm and the extended Euclidean algorithm to work
