The largest number that divides two or more numbers is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) for those numbers.
For example: Let’s say we have two numbers 45 and 27.
95 = 5 * 13
30 = 2 * 3 * 5
So, the GCD of 95 and 30 is 5.
Program Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int gcd(int a, int b) {
if (b == 0)
return a;
return gcd(b, a % b);
}
int main() {
int a = 95, b = 30;
cout<<"GCD of "<< a <<" and "<< b <<" is "<< gcd(a, b);
return 0;
}
Output:
GCD of 95 and 30 is 5
gcd() is a recursive function in the preceding program. It contains two parameters, a and b. If b exceeds zero, a is returned to the main() function. Otherwise, the gcd() function calls itself recursively with the values b and a%b.
