The two first subsections, are proofs of the generalized version of Euclid's lemma, namely that: if n divides ab and is coprime with a then it divides b. The original Euclid's lemma follows immediately, since, if n is prime then it divides a or does not divide a in which case it is coprime with a so per the generalized version it divides b.
First, if a and b share no prime factors in the integers, then they also share no prime factors in the Gaussian integers. (Assume a = gu and b = gv with Gaussian integers g, u and v and g not a unit. Then u and v lie on the same line through the origin. All Gaussian integers on such a line are integer multiples of some Gaussian integer h.

Fractions: A representation of a non-integer as a ratio of two integers. These include improper fractions as well as mixed numbers . Continued fraction : An expression obtained through an iterative process of representing a number as the sum of its integer part and the reciprocal of another number, then writing this other number as the sum of ...
The integers arranged on a number line. An integer is the number zero , a positive natural number (1, 2, 3, . . .), or the negation of a positive natural number (−1, −2, −3, . . .). [1] The negations or additive inverses of the positive natural numbers are referred to as negative integers. [2]
Indian mathematics emerged and developed in the Indian subcontinent [1] from about 1200 BCE [2] until roughly the end of the 18th century CE (approximately 1800 CE). In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 CE to 1200 CE), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Varāhamihira, and Madhava.
Here the greatest common divisor of 0 and 0 is taken to be 0.The integers x and y are called Bézout coefficients for (a, b); they are not unique.A pair of Bézout coefficients can be computed by the extended Euclidean algorithm, and this pair is, in the case of integers one of the two pairs such that | x | ≤ | b/d | and | y | ≤ | a/d |; equality occurs only if one of a and b is a multiple ...
Here Brahmagupta found the result in terms of the sum of the first n integers, rather than in terms of n as is the modern practice. [24] He gives the sum of the squares of the first n natural numbers as n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 6 and the sum of the cubes of the first n natural numbers as ( n(n + 1) / 2 ) 2.
