so, ,
or
The calculator is not needed for finding the general
solution to equation [1].
We started with
and have established that
.
So, by subtraction we have:
or
According to Gauss’s Theorem,
is prime with
, so
is a divisor of
.
Hence there exists
such that:
and
Solving for x and y, we get:
and
for
.
This gives us:
The general solution for all
is therefore:
