Examples
 Exercise 2.4.9: Devise a simple method (algorithm)
for converting from hexadecimal notation to binary
notation.
 (p. 128) Apply the Euclidean algorithm to find the
greatest common divisor of 91 and 287.
 Lemma 2.4.1. Prove that if a = bq + r, where a, b, q,
and r are integers, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(b,r).
 Use Lemma 2.4.1 to prove that the Euclidean
algorithm finds the gcd of its two arguments.

 Fermat’s Little Theorem
 Applications:
 From Section 2.3: Hashing, pseudorandom numbers,
cryptology
 From Section 2.5: Chinese remainder theorem,
computer arithmetic, pseudoprimes / Fermat’s Little
Theorem, public key cryptography, RSA

Examples
 Exercise 2.5.1: Express the gcd of each of the
following pairs of integers as a linear combination
of these integers:
 (c) 36, 48
 (e) 117, 213
 (h) 3454, 4666

Examples II
 Exercise 2.5.9: Show that if a and m are relatively
prime positive integers, then the inverse of a
modulo m is unique modulo m. (Hint: Assume that
there are two solutions b and c of the congruence
ax = 1 mod m. Use Theorem 2 to show that b = c
mod m.)
