Euclidean - Number Theory

Number Theory

  • Euclidean division, the division with produces a quotient and a remainder
  • Euclidean algorithm, a method for finding greatest common divisors
  • Extended Euclidean algorithm, a method for solving the Diophantine equation ax + by = d where d is the greatest common divisor of a and b.
  • Euclid's lemma: if a prime number divides a product of two numbers, then it divides at least one of those two numbers.
  • Euclidean domain, a ring in which Euclidean division may be defined, which allows Euclid's lemma to be true and the Euclidean algorithm and the extended Euclidean algorithm to work

    “... [woman suffrage] has made little difference beyond doubling the number of voters. There is no woman’s vote as such. They divide up just about as men do.”
    —Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884–1980)

    “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”
