C# find the greatest common divisor

Stack Overflow Asked by user2723261 on January 5, 2022

“The greatest common divisor of two integers is the largest integer that evenly divides each of the two numbers. Write method Gcd that returns the greatest common divisor of two integers. Incorporate the method into an app that reads two values from the user and displays the result.”

(this is not homework, just an exercise in the book I’m using)

can you help me solve this? Here’s what I’ve got so far.

(edit – I can submit the two numbers but it won’t calculate the Gcd for me)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Greatest_Common_Divisor
{
class Program
{

    static int GetNum(string text)
    {
        bool IsItANumber = false;
        int x = 0;
        Console.WriteLine(text);

        do
        {
            IsItANumber = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out x);

        } while (!IsItANumber);

        return x;
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string text = "enter a number";
        int x = GetNum(text);
        text = "enter a second number";
        int y = GetNum(text);


        int z = GCD(x, y);
        Console.WriteLine(z);
    }

    private static int GCD(int x, int y)
    {
        int v = 0;
        int n = 0;

        v = GetGreatestDivisor(x, y);


        return v;

    }

    static int GetGreatestDivisor(int m, int h)
        {

            do
            {
                for (int i = m; i <= 1; i--)



                    if (m%i == 0 && h%i == 0)
                    {
                        int x = 0;
                        x = i;

                        return x;
                    }
            } while (true);
            return m;
        }

  }
}

int[] nums = new int[] {6,12,24,48};
int GCD(int a, int b) => b == 0 ? a : GCD(b, a % b);
int FindGCD(int[] numbers) => numbers.Aggregate(GCD);

Console.WriteLine($"Greatest common devisor of {nums.Min()} and {nums.Max()}: {GCD(nums.Min(),nums.Max())}");

List of numbers (6,12,24,48)

Smallest number: 6

Largest number: 48

Greatest common devisor of 6 and 48: 6

Aggregate common devisor of array (6,12,24,48): 6

If efficiency is not a big concern this will do the job.

// gets greatest common divisor of A and B. 
var GCD=Enumerable.Range(1,Math.Min(A,B)).Last(n=>(A%n | B%n)==0);

List<int> gcd = new List<int>();
int n1, n2;

bool com = false;

Console.WriteLine("Enter first number: ");

By using this, you can pass multiple values as well in the form of array:-


// pass all the values in array and call findGCD function
    int findGCD(int arr[], int n) 
    { 
        int gcd = arr[0]; 
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            gcd = getGcd(arr[i], gcd); 
}

        return gcd; 
    } 

// check for gcd
int getGcd(int x, int y) 
    { 
        if (x == 0) 
            return y; 
        return gcd(y % x, x); 
    }

Here's an implementation of the Euclidean algorithm that returns the greatest common divisor without performing any heap allocation.

You can substitute ulong for uint if needed. An unsigned type is used, as the technique does not work for signed values. If you know your a and b values are not negative, you can use long or int instead.

private static ulong GCD(ulong a, ulong b)
{
    while (a != 0 && b != 0)
    {
        if (a > b)
            a %= b;
        else
            b %= a;
    }

    return a | b;
}

This method is used in my metadata-extractor library, where it has associated unit tests.

Try this:

public static int GCD(int p, int q)
{
    if(q == 0)
    {
         return p;
    }

    int r = p % q;

    return GCD(q, r);
}

Using LINQ's Aggregate method:

static int GCD(int[] numbers)
{
    return numbers.Aggregate(GCD);
}

static int GCD(int a, int b)
{
    return b == 0 ? a : GCD(b, a % b);
}

Note: answer above borrowed from accepted answer to Greatest Common Divisor from a set of more than 2 integers.

Answered by Karl Anderson on January 5, 2022

You can try using this:

static int GreatestCommonDivisor(int[] numbers)
{
    return numbers.Aggregate(GCD);
}

static int GreatestCommonDivisor(int x, int y)
{
return y == 0 ? x : GreatestCommonDivisor(y, x % y);
}
