Given two integers $a, b$, we can find two integers $q, r$, where $0 \leq r < b$ and $a = qb + r$. \par
|
||||
In other words, we can divide $a$ by $b$ to get $q$ remainder $r$.

\ref{divalgo} looks scary on paper, but it's quite simple. \par
|

Doing a small example on the board (like $14 \div 3$) may be a good idea. \par

For those that are new to modular arithmetic, you may want to explain how remainders,
|

clock-face counting, division algorithm, and modular arithmetic are all the same.

\theorem{}<gcd_abc>
|

For any integers $a, b, c$, \par
|

$\gcd(ac + b, a) = \gcd(a, b)$

\problem{}
|

Compute the gcd of 12 and 976.
|
||||
\begin{solution}
|
||||
$976 = 3 \times 324 + 4 = 3 \times 4 \times 81 + 4$
|
||||
So, $\gcd(a, b) = 4$
|
||||
\end{solution}

Using the two theorems above, detail an algorithm for finding $\gcd(a, b)$. \par
|

Then, compute $\gcd(1610, 207)$ by hand. \par
