You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x=3113, y=1331
The gcd(3113,1331) is 451, but i don't know how to express as a integral combination of x and y.
GCD IS NOT 451 …IT IS 11…SEE BELOW.
1331 3113 2 ………….. ………….. ………….. ………….. …………..
………….. 451 1331 2 ………….. ………….. ………….. …………..
………….. ………….. 429 451 1 ………….. ………….. …………..
………….. ………….. ………….. 22 429 19 ………….. …………..
………….. ………….. ………….. ………….. 11 22 2 …………..
………….. ………….. ………….. ………….. ………….. 0 ………….. GCD=11
WE KNOW THAT IF N IS DIVIDED BY D TO GIVE QUOTIENT OF Q AND REMAINDER OF R THEN
N=Q*D+R….WE USE THIS TO WRITE GCD AS LINEAR COMBINATION OF THE 2 GIVEN NUMBERS.
THAT IS TO WRITE……….GCD = X * N1 + Y * N2
FROM THE ABOVE DIVISIONS WE DID TO FIND GCD,WE GET

3113=1331*2+451……OR……..451=3113 - 1331*2….……….I
1331=451*2+429………OR…….429 = 1331 - 451*2…...……..II
451=429*1+22…………OR……..22 = 451 - 429*1……...……..III
429=22*19+11…………OR……..11 = 429 - 22*19……….……..IV
22=11*2+0…………………………………………………………….V
HENCE GCD =11
WE NOW SUBSTITUTE BACK WARDS FROM EQN.IV TO EQN.I,REPLACING THE REMAINDERS IN EACH EQN.SUCCESSIVELY
11=429 - 22*19.................IV
= 429 - (451 - 429*1)*19 = 429 - 451*19+429*19= 429*20 - 451*19
=(1331 - 451*2)*20 - (3113 - 1331*2)*19 = 1331*20 - 451*40 -3113*19 + 1331*38 =1331*58 - 3113*19 - 451*40
=1331*58 - 3113*19 - (3113 - 1331*2)*40 = 1331*138 - 3113*59
HENCE GCD = 11 = 1331*138 - 3113*59
WHICH YOU CAN EASILY VERIFY.HOPE THE METHOD IS CLEAR.IT IS A BIT LONG PROCEDURE.
