Num1 |
Numeric |
Sets the value of the first number to evaluate. |
|
Num2 |
Numeric |
Sets the value of the second number to evaluate. |
Remarks
The GCD of more than two numbers can be calculated by finding the GCD two of the numbers, then find the GCD of that value and another number, and repeating the process as many times as necessary.
For example, the following formula finds the GCD of 3 numbers:
GCDxyz = GCD(GCD(x, y), z)
Examples
Displays GCD value of 0.00625 based on the input numbers .003125 and .01. The print statement formats the output to display 2 integer digits and 6 decimal digits.
Print(GCD(.003125, .01):2:6);
