(a) Recall that for any two integers a and b, if we can get integers q and r with ,such that a=bq+r, then q is the quotient and r is the remainder, when a is divided by b. Compare , with a=bq+r, here , hence we get q=1 and , that is the desired quotient and remainder.
(b) Recall the Euclidean algorithm, to compute , for any two non negative integers. If a=b then gcd(a,b)=a. If , then we can assume (without loosing any generality ) that a>b. Then get q,r>0 with , such that , Now repeating the process for the pair (b,r) and for that we will get a remainder less than r, then again repeat the process on r and the new remainder and repeat again until the remainder gets 0. This is the algorithm.
So for calculating , where , for the initial step we get , similarly using the fact , in the first step we will get and so on.
Note that this process will stop when the remainder gets to zero. And each cases the remainder is of the form for some k, and this term is zero when n-k is zero.
So in the zero-th step we got , in the first step we get . Thus doing this on recursively we get at the i-th stage we will get the remainder , and for the remainder to get zero we have that is i=n-2.
Thus at the n-2 th stage the Euclidean algorithm will stop.
Feel free to put a comment if you have any doubts. Cheers!
