program to find greatest common divisor in java code example

Example 1: common greatest divisor java

int gcdByBruteForce(int n1, int n2) {
    int gcd = 1;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n1 && i <= n2; i++) {
        if (n1 % i == 0 && n2 % i == 0) {
            gcd = i;
        }
    }
    return gcd;
}

Example 2: greatest common divisor java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class GCDExample3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int num1, num2;
        
        //Reading the input numbers
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter first number:");
        num1 = (int)scanner.nextInt();
        
        System.out.print("Enter second number:");
        num2 = (int)scanner.nextInt();
        
        //closing the scanner to avoid memory leaks
        scanner.close();
        while (num1 != num2) {
        	if(num1 > num2)
                num1 = num1 - num2;
            else
                num2 = num2 - num1;
        }

        //displaying the result
        System.out.printf("GCD of given numbers is: %d", num2);
    }
