Sažetak
In this article, we show how the Euclidean algorithm can be used for solving linear Diophantine equations and we apply the obtained results to various types of tasks. We also show that the Euclidean algorithm and expansion of a rational number to a continued fraction are closely related and we discuss some properties of those expansions.
