How to Solve Simple Diophantine Equations with Two Unknowns

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

A Diophantine equation restricts solutions to integers. A typical linear form is Ax + By = C. For instance, 4x + 6y= 14 can be tackled by factoring out gcd(4,6)=2, rewriting as 2(2x+3y)=14, so 2x+3y=7. Then find integer solutions systematically. Another approach is the Extended Euclidean Algorithm. These equations are fundamental in partitioning tasks, cryptographic key generation, or advanced number theory. Mastering them ensures a strong integer-based solution approach for logic puzzles or real-world quantity allocations that must remain whole.
