5.1.50 gcd
Syntax:
gcd ( int_expression, int_expression )
gcd ( bigint_expression, bigint_expression )
gcd ( number_expression, number_expression )
gcd ( poly_expression, poly_expression )
Type:
- the same as the type of the arguments
Purpose:
- computes the greatest common divisor.
Note:
- Not implemented for the coefficient fields real and finite fields of
type
(p^n,a) .
The gcd of two numbers is their gcd as integer numbers or polynomials,
otherwise it is not defined.
Example:
| gcd(2,3);
==> 1
gcd(bigint(2)^20,bigint(3)^23); // also applicable for bigints
==> 1
typeof(_);
==> bigint
ring r=0,(x,y,z),lp;
gcd(3x2*(x+y),9x*(y2-x2));
==> x2+xy
gcd(number(6472674604870),number(878646537247372));
==> 2
