How exactly does, "6492 – 13×1802 = 1", as given in the example?
The 2s at the end of 649 and 180 used to be superscripts. I'm not quite sure when that changed, but it is fixed now. Thanks for the heads up on that.
No problem. Thanks for the fix!
Some tips. Continued fractions are the main way for finding the fundamental solutions to Pell's equations. And square roots have patterns in continued fractions.
