NCERT Class 10th Mathematics Chapter Real number Euclid’s Theorem

In number theory, Euclids lemma is lemma which tell us about fundamental property of prime number here we have explanation with an example of Euclids lemma.

Euclid division lemma:

In arithmetic Euclid division is a process by which we divide two integers to get a quotient and a remainder.

According to this theorem if we have two positive integers x and y, then there exist unique integer a and b which satisfies the condition

x=ay+b , where 0<=b<y

For example

Here we can see that

X=217

Y=5

a=43

b=2

Which satisfies the condition

217=5*43+2

Where 0<=2<5
