    @3:30 ... I think this should be ... Since S is a nonempty set of positive integers, it has a minimum element d=ax+by by the *Well-ordering principle* rather than by the Archimedian principle.

  • @thomhughes4617

    I’m a bit confused about having c|d implies d=gcd(a,b).
    Is it because we can apply this reasoning of c|d for any common divisor of a and b and the smallest number d for which this holds is by definition the gcd(a,b)?

    • @agrajyadav2951
      @agrajyadav2951 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! I know I'm slightly late, but since d divides a and b, and c also does that, and c divides d, that means d>=c (d,c€N). And since we didn't make any assumptions about c other than its a natural no that divides a and b, and yet, d is greater or equal to it, hence, its the greatest common divisor.
      I hope this was clear

    You can illustrate this on a spreadsheet, iteratively subtracting the small number from the larger. Eventually one of them is zero, and the other must be the GCD.

    • @willjohnston2959
      @willjohnston2959 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Think back to long division -- we keep going until the remainder is less than the divisor, otherwise we really haven't finished our division. For example, we don't say 53 divided by 4 is 10 with a remainder of 13, we say it is 13 with a remainder of 1. That is, we don't say 53 = 4(10) + 12, we say 53 = 4(13) + 1, where the r lies between 0 and 4.

  • @davidbrisbane7206
    @davidbrisbane7206 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Alternatively, you can use the Euclidean Algorthm to compute the gcd(a, b) and then reverse all the steps to discover that ax + by = gcd(a, b), but this is less elegant and more tedious.

    • @roflattheworld
      @roflattheworld 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When he says 'subset of N', he does not necessarily mean that it is a strict/proper subset of N (that is, it *could* be N itself); however, it is yet unclear as to whether it is exactly N or just some part of N, noting that if it were always precisely N, then the proof would follow trivially (as gcd(a,b) is in N by definition).

    • @roflattheworld
      @roflattheworld 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Consider a = 2, b = 4. Clearly - as we've defined that x,y are integers - any solution to our given form can only be an even integer, whereby we have at least one counterexample to S always being equivalent to N.

    Why r is less than d ?

    • @davidbrisbane7206
      @davidbrisbane7206 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Suppose a = 17 and d = 6, so d does not divide a, as 6 doesn't divide 17.
      But, you can write 17 = 6(2) + 5. Here a = 17, d = 6, r = 5. So, a = d(q) + r.
      Notice that r can't be 6, because if it were, then 17 = 6(2) + 6 = 6(3) and then 6 would divide 17, which it obviously doesn't.
      Similarly, r can't be zero, because if it could be, than we could find an integer q such that 17 = 6(q) + 0 = 6q, and clearly there is no integer q that satisfies 17 = 6q.
      Putting it all together we have a = d(q) + r, where 0
