The Euclidean algorithm has been known for over 2000 years and has always been a favorite among number theorists. After these many years, there is now a potential competitor, invented by J. Stein in 1961. Stein’s algorithms is as follows. Determine

a. To get a feel for the two algorithms, compute gcd(2152, 764) using both the Euclidean and Stein’s algorithm.

b. What is the apparent advantage of Stein’s algorithm over the Euclidean algorithm?

We can define the relationship as
a = n  a/n + (a mod n)
Thus, we can define the mod operator as: a mod n = a – n  a/n
a. 5 mod 3 = 5 – 3 5/3 = 2
b. 5 mod –3 = 5 – (–3) 5/(–3) = –1
c. –5 mod 3 = –5 – 3 (–5)/3 = 1
d. –5 mod –3 = –5 – (–3) (–5)/(–3) = –2
