ExtendedGCD

ExtendedGCD[n1,n2,…]

gives the extended greatest common divisor of the integers ni.

Details

  • Integer mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • ExtendedGCD[n1,n2,…] returns a list {g,{r_(1),r_(2),...}} where g is GCD[n1,n2,…] and g=r_(1)n_(1)+r_(2)n_(2)+....
  • ExtendedGCD automatically threads over lists.
