GCD function in c++ sans cmath library

Question

I\'m writing a mixed numeral class and need a quick and easy \'greatest common divisor\' function. Can anyone give me the code or a link to the code?

Answer 1

I'm tempted to vote to close -- it seems difficult to believe that an implementation would be hard to find, but who knows for sure.

template 
Number GCD(Number u, Number v) {
    while (v != 0) {
        Number r = u % v;
        u = v;
        v = r;
    }
    return u;
}

In C++ 17 or newer, you can just #include , and use std::gcd (and if you care, about the gcd, chances are pretty fair that you'll be interested in the std::lcm that was added as well).
