Abstract
An analogue of the Euclidean algorithm for square matrices of size 2 with integral non-negative entries and strictly positive determinant defines a finite set of Euclid-reduced matrices corresponding to elements of . With Popeye's help[2] on the use of sails of lattices we show that contains elements.
