This book does contain spoilers in the form of solutions to problems that are often presented directly after the problems themselves if possible, try to figure out each problem on your own before peeking. Division algorithms can be divided into five classes. Its main property is that the quotient and the remainder exist and are unique, under some conditions. If gcda, b 1 then a, b are called relatively prime. This is a certifying algorithm, because the gcd is the only number that can simultaneously satisfy this.
