I'm trying to solve this problem: Xum
And it's hard enough that I look at the editorial.
Then I meet this Bezout's Theorem for the first time ever in my life, which online, it states that there exist $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ for any equation in the form of $$$ax+by=gcd(x, y)$$$, or in the case of this problem where both $$$x$$$ and $$$y$$$ are relatively prime, $$$ax+by=1$$$.
This is a classic Diophantine equation, which can be solved using the Extended Euclidean Algorithm. However what the problem asks us for is to find values of $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ such that $$$a,b ≥ 0$$$ and $$$ax-by=1$$$. How do we do this?
Thanks!
