(** The recursive part of Euclid's algorithm uses well-founded recursion of non-negative integers. It maintains 6 integers [u1,u2,u3,v1,v2,v3] such that the following invariant holds: [u1*a+u2*b=u3] and [v1*a+v2*b=v3] and [gcd(u3,v3)=gcd(a,b)]. *)
(** We get Euclid's algorithm by applying [euclid_rec] on [1,0,a,0,1,b] when [b>=0] and [1,0,a,0,-1,-b] when [b<0]. *)

(** Bezout's theorem: [a] and [b] are relatively prime if and only if there exist [u] and [v] such that [ua+vb = 1]. *)
(** Gauss's theorem: if [a] divides [bc] and if [a] and [b] are relatively prime, then [a] divides [c]. *)
(** If [a] is relatively prime to [b] and [c], then it is to [bc] *)
(** After factorization by a gcd, the original numbers are relatively prime. *)
