Step 1
Consider the following information:
a=26,b=52,c=60
Greatest common divisor of 60 and 52:
60=52×1+8 ...(1)
52=8×6+4 ...(2)
8=4×2+0 ...(3)
Greatest common divisor of 60 and 52 is 4.
Greatest common divisor of 26 and 4:
26=4×6+2 ...(4)
4=2×2+0 ...(5)
Greatest common divisor of 26 and 4 is 2.
Step 2
From equation (4):
2=264×6
From equation (2):
2=26(528×6)×6
2=2652×6+8×36
From equation (1):
2=2652×6+(6052×1)×36
2=2652×6+60×3652×36
2=26(1)+(-42)52+(36)60
Hence, the solution is x=1,y=-42, z=36.
