Calling Sequence

ModExtendedGCD(n, a, b)

Parameters

n

-

positive integer

a

-

integer

b

-

sequence of integers

Description

• 

The ModExtendedGCD function computes the solution to the modulo n extended greatest common divisor problem.

• 

If b is a sequence of length k, then the return value is a list c of length k of non-negative integers such that gcdn,a,b1,,bk=gcdn,a+c1b1++ckbk and ck,,c1 is lexicographically minimal.
