greatest common divisor
Author: Marian Olejar, Jr. Created: Jul/02/2006 Last edit: Jul/02/2006
number theory:
The greatest common divisor of a and b, denoted by (a, b) or gcd(a, b), is defined by: if a = 0 or b = 0 then (a, b) = 0 if a`!=`0 and b`!=`0 then (a, b) = the largest common divisor of a and b.
