In this video I show how to run the extended Euclidean algorithm to calculate a GCD and also find the integer values guaranteed to exist by Bezout's theorem.
Isn't it the truth! ; ) lol And they say those that can't do, teach... not true. Those that can't do, can't teach, and those that can teach, we are lucky to be able to learn from them, because there are so many that can't teach, and can't do... a miserable lot they are.
Thank you for this video! Been trying to get this right for quite some time and have watched several other lessons. When you said to treat the numbers as variables was really when it became clear to me! Well done! You really saved me from failing my exam!
the greatest video of all time. watched 10 different videos on the same topic but they all have 1 thing in common, they dont tell you the real deal, they just assume you already know that 1 thing so they quickly brush it off. The whole underline as a variable thing is a game changer and what made me understand. Thank you.
GREAT explanation. As others have noted, treating the numbers as variables is what ultimately unlocked this for me. It's so unlike anything I've done previously in my limited math experience, I could not tell what was happening until this video made it clear. Thanks a lot!
This is the best video I've seen on the extended Euclidean. The pointer at 9:50- to treat the number as if they were variables- is a critical step for people learning this for the first time. A lot of other videos speed through this critical step.
I missed a day in a prep course for the university and that was the subject. you made it so clear what they were talking about on the next day, thank you so much!!
Absolutely phenomenal explanation, goes over every little detail so you can't possibly feel lost at any one step. Couldn't for the life of me figure it out with the textbook or the other weird videos where they use a table and formulas that seemingly come out of nowhere, but this made it abundantly easy to understand. One watch and I could execute it flawlessly :)
It works really well and the video was really well done! Having grown accustomed to a lot of algebra, calculus, trig, etc. its hard to start treating numbers like variables, but that made it click for me. However, I don't feel like the simplifying aspect was explained as well as it could have been, which is an extension of what I mentioned in the previous sentence. To clear things up: After each substitution, in order to simplify, distribute the co-efficient (if we're still thinking in terms of variables) to the lower value in each term. If it confuses you, just put both in parentheses, distribute to the smaller value, and re-write in ascending order on a new line. Also, yes, you need to simplify after each substitution, its too easy to lose track of where to distribute, and you'll probably mangle where you put your parentheses causing you to distribute improperly. Following this, we'll properly build up to the input values we used to compute our GCD originally. You should be able to simplify to a pair of numbers every time that make sense for your next substitution. If you don't follow this you'll probably get a garbage answer from making a mistake when simplifying. You can follow in the example below how its done. Example: Find s and t, where: 240s + 46t = gcd(240, 46) // Perform our GCD calculations gcd(240, 46) 240 = 46(5) + 10 46 = 10(4) + 6 10 = 6(1) + 4 6 = 4(1) + 2 4 = 2(2) + 0 // Re-writing according to the video (numbered for referencing): Equation 3: 240 - 46(5) = 10 Equation 2: 46 - 10(4) = 6 Equation 1: 10 - 6(1) = 4 Equation 0: 6 - 4(1) = 2
Imagine a video, that is not intended to show, how to calculate the private exponent d in RSA with the extended euclidean algorithm, doing the best job of providing a step by step solution, with no holes or skips in it. Really good work! Your video is better than any RSA private exponent calculation video for understanding how the retreive d.
thank you so much! I literally spent so much time trying to figure out my homework problem but now through your video, I learned how to complete problems like these!
Awesome video! The way you explained the methods are very precise and easy to understand, kudos to you. Thanks a bunch, you are making the world a better place! Cheers
Thank you so much sir i watched multiple videos but everything was complicated and now this is my last video i don't need to watch anything else again thank you sir
Underline trick was amazing. Everything cleared out. I'd hope teachers like you [=that make thigns easy , and not teach jargon] had the seat of the teacher and not what is right now on my University.....
