gcd function in c code example

Example 1: gcd function in c++

int gcd(int a, int b) 
{ 
    // Everything divides 0  
    if (a == 0) 
       return b; 
    if (b == 0) 
       return a; 
    // base case 
    if (a == b) 
        return a; 
    // a is greater 
    if (a > b) 
        return gcd(a-b, b); 
    return gcd(a, b-a); 
}

Example 2: gcd of two numbers in c

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int n1, n2, i, gcd;

    printf("Enter two integers: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &n1, &n2);

    for(i=1; i <= n1 && i <= n2; ++i)
    {
        // Checks if i is factor of both integers
        if(n1%i==0 && n2%i==0)
            gcd = i;
    }

    printf("G.C.D of %d and %d is %d", n1, n2, gcd);

    return 0;
}

Example 3: gcd of two numbers in c

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int n1, n2;
    
    printf("Enter two positive integers: ");
    scanf("%d %d",&n1,&n2);

    while(n1!=n2)
    {
        if(n1 > n2)
            n1 -= n2;
        else
            n2 -= n1;
    }
    printf("GCD = %d",n1);

    return 0;
}
