linear algebra - Euclidean algorithm matrix proof

Suppose that a and b are positive integers with ab. Let qi and ri be the quotients and remainders in the steps of the Euclidean algorithm for i=1,2,...,n, where rn is the last nonzero remainder.




Let Qi=[qi110] and Q=ni=0Qi.
Show that [ab]=Q[rn0]




I really have no idea how to tackle this. A relevant theorem may be Bezout's Theorem:



gcd(a,b) is the smallest linear combination of a,b, that is, gcd(a,b)= min(sa+tb)
