need help

[Suyogya]

here is some about euclidean division. The article states that although euclid doesn't know about the theorem but still it named after him (see) . The reason for it is also mentioned (written as "The term Euclidean division was introduced.........") but i can't understood it (probably because i'm not familiar with abstract algebra). Can someone help me understanding that.

I have no idea what you are asking.  Is your question about "Euclidean division (the "Euclidean algorithm") itself or about why it is named for Euclid?
