Given a number n, find GCD of its digits.

Examples : 

Input  : 345
Output : 1
GCD of 3, 4 and 5 is 1.

Input  : 2448
Output : 2
GCD of 2, 4, 4 and 8 is 2

We traverse the digits of number one by one using below loop  

digit = n mod 10;
n  = n / 10; 

While traversing digits, we keep track of current GCD and keep updating GCD by finding GCD of current digit with current GCD. 

C++




// CPP program to find GCD of digits of a number
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
  
int digitGCD(int n)
{
    int gcd = 0;
    while (n > 0)
    {        
        gcd = __gcd(n%10, gcd);
  
        // If at point GCD becomes 1,
        // return it
        if (gcd == 1)
           return 1;
  
        n = n/10;
    }
    return gcd;
}
  
// driver code
int main()
{
    long n = 2448;
    cout << digitGCD(n);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to find GCD of digits of a number
  
class GFG
{
    // Recursive function to return gcd of a and b
    static int __gcd(int a, int b)
    
        return b == 0 ? a : __gcd(b, a % b); 
          
    }
    static int digitGCD(int n)
    {
        int gcd = 0;
        while (n > 0)
        {     
            gcd = __gcd(n % 10, gcd);
      
            // If at point GCD becomes 1,
            // return it
            if (gcd == 1)
            return 1;
      
            n = n / 10;
        }
        return gcd;
    }
      
    // Driver code
    public static void main (String[] args) 
    {
        int n = 2448;
        System.out.print(digitGCD(n));
    }

Output : 

2

Time complexity: O(logn)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
