Theorem	bezout 12407*	Bézout's identity: For any integers A and B, there are integers x , y such that ( A gcd B ) = A x. x + B x. y. This is Metamath 100 proof #60. The proof is constructive, in the sense that it applies the Extended Euclidian Algorithm to constuct a number which can be shown to be ( A gcd B ) and which satisfies the rest of the theorem. In the presence of excluded middle, it is common to prove Bézout's identity by taking the smallest number which satisfies the Bézout condition, and showing it is the greatest common divisor. But we do not have the ability to show that number exists other than by providing a way to determine it. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 22-Feb-2014.)

5.1.10  The least common multiple According to Wikipedia ("Least common multiple", 27-Aug-2020, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple): "In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least upper bound in the lattice of divisibility." In this section, an operation calculating the least common multiple of two integers (df-lcm 12458). The definition is valid for all integers, including negative integers and 0, obeying the above mentioned convention.

5.1.11  Coprimality and Euclid's lemma According to Wikipedia "Coprime integers", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime_integers (16-Aug-2020) "[...] two integers a and b are said to be relatively prime, mutually prime, or coprime [...] if the only positive integer (factor) that divides both of them is 1. Consequently, any prime number that divides one does not divide the other. This is equivalent to their greatest common divisor (gcd) being 1.". In the following, we use this equivalent characterization to say that A e. ZZ and B e. ZZ are coprime (or relatively prime) if ( A gcd B ) = 1. The equivalence of the definitions is shown by coprmgcdb 12485. The negation, i.e. two integers are not coprime, can be expressed either by ( A gcd B ) =/= 1, see ncoprmgcdne1b 12486, or equivalently by 1 < ( A gcd B ), see ncoprmgcdgt1b 12487. A proof of Euclid's lemma based on coprimality is provided in coprmdvds 12489 (as opposed to Euclid's lemma for primes).
