This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-special-gcd) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
gcd
Compute the greatest common divisor (gcd).
The greatest common divisor (gcd) of two non-zero integers a and b is the largest positive integer which divides both a and b without a remainder. The gcd is also known as the greatest common factor (gcf), highest common factor (hcf), highest common divisor, and greatest common measure (gcm).
Installation
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-gcdUsage
var gcd = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gcd' );gcd( a, b )
Computes the greatest common divisor (gcd).
var v = gcd( 48, 18 );
// returns 6If both a and b are 0, the function returns 0.
var v = gcd( 0, 0 );
// returns 0Both a and b must have integer values; otherwise, the function returns NaN.
var v = gcd( 3.14, 18 );
// returns NaN
v = gcd( 48, 3.14 );
// returns NaN
v = gcd( NaN, 18 );
// returns NaN
v = gcd( 48, NaN );
// returns NaNExamples
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var gcd = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gcd' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'float64'
};
var a = discreteUniform( 100, 0, 50, opts );
var b = discreteUniform( a.length, 0, 50, opts );
logEachMap( 'gcd(%d,%d) = %d', a, b, gcd );C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/gcd.h"stdlib_base_gcd( a, b )
Computes the greatest common divisor (gcd).
double v = stdlib_base_gcd( 48.0, 18.0 );
// returns 6.0The function accepts the following arguments:
- a:
[in] doubleinput value. - b:
[in] doubleinput value.
double stdlib_base_gcd( const double a, const double b );Examples
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/gcd.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void ) {
const double a[] = { 24.0, 32.0, 48.0, 116.0, 33.0 };
const double b[] = { 12.0, 6.0, 15.0, 52.0, 22.0 };
double out;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
out = stdlib_base_gcd( a[ i ], b[ i ] );
printf( "gcd(%lf, %lf) = %lf\n", a[ i ], b[ i ], out );
}
