Thanks in advance for your time and help.

While cleaning up I noticed that I forgot to post the solution using Euklids algorithm. So before the file is deleted, I post it here.

Here we have no problem with numbers too high, as it seems.

Your definition seems not define series of numbers.

Its NOT defined what the NEXT pair (a1; b1) would be.

Is it (165; 238) or should it be (877; 1265) or would you rather like it to be (1589; 2292) ?

The general solution is a.1=165+k*712 and b.1=238+k*1027 with k being any integer.

 

If you settle for the smallest positive numbers, a first hack could be

Not much error checking or whatsoever and the 'math' method used is not Euklid or congruences but simple pure brute force 😉

Interesting error message. No idea what it should mean and why it pops up.

Solution: Don't use too high numbers 🙂
