Extended GCD and divisibility over ℤ

Main definitions

• Given x y : ℕ, xgcd x y computes the pair of integers (a, b) such that gcd x y = x * a + y * b. gcdA x y and gcdB x y are defined to be a and b, respectively.

Main statements

• gcd_eq_gcd_ab: Bézout's lemma, given x y : ℕ, gcd x y = x * gcdA x y + y * gcdB x y.
