  2. Greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

    In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD), also known as greatest common factor (GCF), of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers. For two integers x, y, the greatest common divisor of x and y is denoted (,).

  3. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    The Euclidean algorithm is based on the principle that the greatest common divisor of two numbers does not change if the larger number is replaced by its difference with the smaller number. For example, 21 is the GCD of 252 and 105 (as 252 = 21 × 12 and 105 = 21 × 5) , and the same number 21 is also the GCD of 105 and 252 − 105 = 147 .

    Therefore, equalities like d = gcd(p, q) or gcd(p, q) = gcd(r, s) are common abuses of notation which should be read "d is a GCD of p and q" and "p and q have the same set of GCDs as r and s". In particular, gcd( p , q ) = 1 means that the invertible constants are the only common divisors.

  5. Binary GCD algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_GCD_algorithm

    Visualisation of using the binary GCD algorithm to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36 and 24. Thus, the GCD is 2 2 × 3 = 12.. The binary GCD algorithm, also known as Stein's algorithm or the binary Euclidean algorithm, [1] [2] is an algorithm that computes the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two nonnegative integers.

  6. Extended Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Euclidean_algorithm

    In arithmetic and computer programming, the extended Euclidean algorithm is an extension to the Euclidean algorithm, and computes, in addition to the greatest common divisor (gcd) of integers a and b, also the coefficients of Bézout's identity, which are integers x and y such that

  7. Lamé's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamé's_theorem

    Lamé's Theorem is the result of Gabriel Lamé's analysis of the complexity of the Euclidean algorithm.Using Fibonacci numbers, he proved in 1844 [1] [2] that when looking for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers a and b, the algorithm finishes in at most 5k steps, where k is the number of digits (decimal) of b.

  9. Euler's totient function - Wikipedia

    In other words, it is the number of integers k in the range 1 ≤ k ≤ n for which the greatest common divisor gcd(n, k) is equal to 1. [2] [3] The integers k of this form are sometimes referred to as totatives of n. For example, the totatives of n = 9 are the six numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8.
