Answers to Questions (FAQ)

What is Bezout Identity? (Definition)

The Bachet-Bezout identity is defined as: if $ a $ and $ b $ are two integers and $ d $ is their GCD (greatest common divisor), then it exists $ u $ and $ v $, two integers such as $ au + bv = d $.

Example: $ a=12 $ and $ b=30 $, gcd $ (12, 30) = 6 $, then, it exists $ u $ and $ v $ such as $ 12u + 30v = 6 $, like: $$ 12 \times -2 + 30 \times 1 = 6 $$

The dCode Bezout coefficients calculator gives only one solution, there is an infinity of them.

What are Bezout coefficients?

The Bézout coefficients are the values $ u $ and $ v $ found.

How to calculate values for Bézout Identity?

Automatic method: Use the dCode form above, enter the non-zero relative integers $ a $ and $ b $ and click on Calculate.

Manual method: use the extended euclidean algorithm, which is a series of Euclidean divisions which allows to find the Bezout coefficients (as well as the GCD).

By initializing $ u = 1 $, $ v = 0 $, $ u' = 0 $ and $ v' = 1 $, from 2 relative integers $ a $ and $ b $, calculate the quotient $ q $ and the remainder $ r $ of the euclidean division of $ a $ by $ b $

While $ r \neq 0 $, calculate the new values $ u' \leftarrow u \times q - u' $ and $ u \leftarrow u' $ and change the values $ a \leftarrow b $ and $ b \leftarrow r $.

When $ r = 0 $ the last value of $ b $ is the GCD and the values $ u $ and $ v $ are the Bézout coefficients.

How to code Bézout Identity in pseudo-code?

A source code for the identity of Bezout would be similar to this pseudo-code:

Initialization r = a, r' = b, u = 1, v = 0, u' = 0 and v' = 1
While (r' != 0)
q = (int) r/r'
r₂ = r, u₂ = u, v₂ = v,
r = r', u = u', v = v',
r' = r₂ - q*r', u' = u₂ - q*u', v' = v₂ - q*v'
End While
Return (r, u, v)
