SUMMARY
Linear Diophantine equations of the form ax + by = C, where gcd(a, b) = 1, always have a solution. The Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) provides a method for finding these solutions. In more general cases, solutions exist if gcd(a, b) divides C. This establishes a clear criterion for the solvability of such equations.
