We say that an integer 𝐷D is a divisor of another integer 𝐴A if the fraction 𝐴/𝐷A/D is also an integer. Given two positive integers 𝐴A and 𝐵B, compute the largest number which is a divisor of both 𝐴A and 𝐵B.

Question

We say that an integer 𝐷D is a divisor of another integer 𝐴A if the fraction 𝐴/𝐷A/D is also an integer. Given two positive integers 𝐴A and 𝐵B, compute the largest number which is a divisor of both 𝐴A and 𝐵B.

Solution

To find the largest number which is a divisor of both A and B, you need to find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of A and B. Here are the steps to do this:

  1. If A is smaller than B, swap A and B.
  2. Divide A by B and get the remainder, R.
  3. If R equals 0, then B is the GCD of A and B.
  4. If R is not 0, then replace A with B and B with R. Return to step 2.

This algorithm is known as the Euclidean algorithm. It is based on the principle that the GCD of two numbers also divides their difference.
