PHP and GMP Tutorial: How to Calculate the Extended Euclidean Algorithm of Large Numbers

Introduction:
In computer science, the Extended Euclidean Algorithm (EEA for short) is An algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers and their Bezu's equation coefficients. For smaller integers, ordinary algorithms can be used to calculate, but for very large integers, ordinary algorithms may be very slow or even cause overflow. In this case, the extended Euclidean algorithm for large numbers can be efficiently calculated using the GMP extension and corresponding functions provided by PHP.

Steps:
The following are the steps for the extended Euclidean algorithm to calculate large numbers using PHP and GMP extensions.

1. Download and install the GMP extension:
   GMP (GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library) is an open source library for calculating large numbers. In PHP, this library can be used by downloading and installing the GMP extension. Please find the specific installation process according to the PHP version and operating system you are using.

2. Introducing the GMP extension:
   Once the GMP extension is installed, the extension can be introduced by adding the following code in the PHP code:

   extension_loaded('gmp') or die('GMP 扩展未安装');

3. Define Calculation Function that extends Euclidean algorithm:

   function extendedEuclideanAlgorithm($a, $b)
   {
    if (gmp_cmp($b, gmp_init(0)) == 0) {
        return array($a, gmp_init(1), gmp_init(0));
    } else {
        list($gcd, $x, $y) = extendedEuclideanAlgorithm($b, gmp_mod($a, $b));
        return array($gcd, $y, gmp_sub($x, gmp_mul(gmp_div_q($a, $b), $y)));
    }
   }

4. Call the function and output the result:

   $a = gmp_init('123456789012345678901234567890');
   $b = gmp_init('987654321098765432109876543210');
   
   list($gcd, $x, $y) = extendedEuclideanAlgorithm($a, $b);
   
   echo "最大公约数：" . gmp_strval($gcd) . "
   ";
   echo "x 的系数：" . gmp_strval($x) . "
   ";
   echo "y 的系数：" . gmp_strval($y) . "
   ";

Example result:
Greatest common divisor : 10 The coefficient of
x: 6898559300553715113
The coefficient of y: -864526956266714347

Conclusion:
By using the GMP extension of PHP and the corresponding functions, we can efficiently calculate the extension of large numbers Euclidean algorithm. This is useful for working with encryption algorithms, security protocols, etc. that require large number calculations. By rationally utilizing GMP to extend and extend the Euclidean algorithm, we can handle large number calculation problems more efficiently and accurately.
