Extended Euclidean Algorithm in C++

This C++ Program demonstrates the implementation of Extended Eucledian Algorithm. For the modular multiplicative inverse to exist, the number and modular must be coprime.

Here is source code of the C++ Program to implement Extended Eucledian Algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
