gf(2) Calculating the gcd (greatest common divisor)
Euclid's Algorithm
c = gcd(a0,b0)
a0 = b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001100111
a0 = 0x0000000000000067
a0 = x6 + x5 + x2 + x + 1
b0 = b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010001
b0 = 0x0000000000000011
b0 = x4 + 1
Find r0 = a0 % b0
r0 = b0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
r0 = 0x0000000000000001
r0 = 1
r0 is one, so gcd(a,b) is one (i.e. coprime/relatively prime)
