Step 1  Consider the following information:  a=26,b=52,c=60  Greatest common divisor of 60 and 52:  60=52×1+8 ...(1)  52=8×6+4 ...(2)  8=4×2+0 ...(3)  Greatest common divisor of 60 and 52 is 4.  Greatest common divisor of 26 and 4:  26=4×6+2 ...(4)  4=2×2+0 ...(5)  Greatest common divisor of 26 and 4 is 2.  Step 2  From equation (4):  2=26−4×6  From equation (2):  2=26(52−8×6)×6  2=26−52×6+8×36  From equation (1):  2=26−52×6+(60−52×1)×36  2=26−52×6+60×36−52×36  2=26(1)+(-42)52+(36)60  Hence, the solution is x=1,y=-42, z=36.
