The Farey Sequence, Stern Brocot Tree and Euclids Theorem

Number Theory 2020-11-13 v1

Abstract

Farey's sequence is a well-known procedure used to generate proper fractions from 0 to 1. Farey sequence is commonly used in rational approximations of irrational numbers, ford circles and in Riemann hypothesis. Thus, in this paper, we aim to use properties of the Farey's sequence to prove the popular gcd theorem.
