1. GCD(19,14) 19 = 14*1+5 r -> 5 = 19-1*14 GCD(14,5) 14 = 5*2+4 r -> 4 = 14 - 2*5 = 14 - 2(19-4*1) = 14 - 2*19 + 1*14 = 3*14-2*19 GCD(5,4) 5 = 1*4 + 1 r -> 1 = 5 - 1(4) = (19 - 1*14) - (3*14-2*19) = 3*19-4*14 Thus you would give the casheere 3 19$ coins and they would give you back 4 14$ coins 2. GCD(109, 95) 109 = 95*1 + 14 r -> 14 = 109 - 1*95 GCD(95, 14) 95 = 14*6 + 11 r -> 11 = 95 - 6(14) = 95 - 6(109 - 1*95) = 7*95 - 6*109 GCD(14, 11) 14 = 11*1 + 3 r -> 3 = 14 - 1(11) = 109 - 1*95 - (7*95 - 6*109) = 7*109 - 8*95 GCD(11, 3) 11 = 3*3 + 2 r -> 2 = 11 - 3(3) = 7*95 - 6*109 - 3(7*109 - 8*95) = 31*95 - 27*109 GCD(3,2) 3 = 2*1 + 1 1 = 3 - 1*2 = 7*109 - 8*95 - (31*95 - 27*109) = 34*109 - 39*95 Thus the you give 34 109$ coins and you get back 39 95$ coins 3. GCD(37, 16) 37 = 2*16 + 5 r -> 5 = 37 - 2*16 GCD(16, 5) 16 = 5*3 + 1 r -> 1 = 16 - 3(37 - 2*16) = 7*16 - 3*37 Thus you use 7 16 lb weights on one side and 3 37 lb weights on the other + 1 lb of coffee and they should balance out 4. Im not sure how to approach the problem!
