(a) We have 203=2⋅101+1203 = 2 \cdot 101 + 1 and 101=101⋅1101 = 101 \cdot 1 . It follows that gcd⁡(203,101)=1\operatorname { gcd } ( 203,101 ) = 1 .
(b) We have 34=1⋅21+13,21=1⋅13+8,13=1⋅8+5,8=1⋅5+3,5=1⋅3+2,3=1⋅2+134 = 1 \cdot 21 + 13,21 = 1 \cdot 13 + 8,13 = 1 \cdot 8 + 5,8 = 1 \cdot 5 + 3,5 = 1 \cdot 3 + 2,3 = 1 \cdot 2 + 1 , 2=2⋅12 = 2 \cdot 1 Hence gcd⁡(34,21)=1\operatorname { gcd } ( 34,21 ) = 1 .

(a) We have 18 = 2 · 7 + 4. Hence 18 mod 7 = 4. (b) We have −88 = −7 · 13 + 3. Hence −88 mod 13 = 3. (c) We have 289 = 17 · 17. Hence 289 mod 17 = 0.
