Oct 13, 2010 at 7:58 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz I use this way to teach it as well. One has the invariant that a typical row is $r s ar+bs$. In case of an error one can zero in on the line where the error occurred by checking back and forth to see where the invariant failed. When working in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{2}]$ or $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ that can be helpful.
