C# find the greatest common divisor

Question

\"The greatest common divisor of two integers is the largest integer that evenly divides each of the two numbers. Write method Gcd that returns the greatest common divisor o

Answer 1

If efficiency is not a big concern this will do the job.

// gets greatest common divisor of A and B. 
var GCD=Enumerable.Range(1,Math.Min(A,B)).Last(n=>(A%n | B%n)==0);

Answer 2

Using LINQ's Aggregate method:

static int GCD(int[] numbers)
{
    return numbers.Aggregate(GCD);
}

static int GCD(int a, int b)
{
    return b == 0 ? a : GCD(b, a % b);
}

Note: answer above borrowed from accepted answer to Greatest Common Divisor from a set of more than 2 integers.

Answer 3

Try this:

public static int GCD(int p, int q)
{
    if(q == 0)
    {
         return p;
    }

    int r = p % q;

    return GCD(q, r);
}

Answer 4

    int a=789456;


    int b=97845645;
    if(a>b)     
    {

    }
    else
    {
        int temp=0;
        temp=a;
        a=b;
        b=temp;
    }
    int x=1;
    int y=0 ;

    for (int i =1 ; i < (b/2)+1 ; i++ )
    {

        if(a%i==0)
        {
             x=i;
        }
        if(b%i==0)
        {
             y=i;
        }
        if ((x==y)& x==i & y==i & i < a)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
        }

    }

Answer 5

You can try using this:

static int GreatestCommonDivisor(int[] numbers)
{
    return numbers.Aggregate(GCD);
}

static int GreatestCommonDivisor(int x, int y)
{
return y == 0 ? x : GreatestCommonDivisor(y, x % y);
}

Answer 6

By using this, you can pass multiple values as well in the form of array:-


// pass all the values in array and call findGCD function
    int findGCD(int arr[], int n) 
    { 
        int gcd = arr[0]; 
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            gcd = getGcd(arr[i], gcd); 
}

        return gcd; 
    } 

// check for gcd
int getGcd(int x, int y) 
    { 
        if (x == 0) 
            return y; 
        return gcd(y % x, x); 
    }
