Find the GCD that lies in given range

Given two positive integer a and b and a range [low, high]. The task is to find the greatest common divisor of a and b which lie in the given range. If no divisor exist in the range, print -1.
Examples:

Input : a = 9, b = 27, low = 1, high = 5
Output : 3
3 is the highest number that lies in range 
[1, 5] and is common divisor of 9 and 27.

Input : a = 9, b = 27, low = 10, high = 11
Output : -1

The idea is to find the Greatest Common Divisor GCD(a, b) of a and b. Now observe, divisor of GCD(a, b) is also the divisor of a and b. So, we will iterate a loop i from 1 to sqrt(GCD(a, b)) and check if i divides GCD(a, b). Also, observe if i is divisor of GCD(a, b) then GCD(a, b)/i will also be divisor. So, for each iteration, if i divides GCD(a, b), we will find maximum of i and GCD(a, b)/i if they lie in the range. 
Below is the implementation of this approach: 

C++

// CPP Program to find the Greatest Common divisor
// of two number which is in given range
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Return the greatest common divisor
// of two numbers
int gcd(int a, int b)
{
    if (b == 0)
        return a;
    return gcd(b, a % b);
}

// Return the greatest common divisor of a
// and b which lie in the given range.
int maxDivisorRange(int a, int b, int l, int h)
{
    int g = gcd(a, b);
    int res = -1;

    // Loop from 1 to sqrt(GCD(a, b).
    for (int i = l; i * i <= g && i <= h; i++)

        // if i divides the GCD(a, b), then
        // find maximum of three numbers res,
        // i and g/i
        if (g % i == 0)
            res = max({res, i, g / i});

    return res;
}

// Driven Program
int main()
{
    int a = 3, b = 27, l = 1, h = 5;
    cout << maxDivisorRange(a, b, l, h) << endl;
    return 0;
}

// divisor of two number which is in given
// range

        return gcd(b, a % b);
    }

    // Return the greatest common divisor of a
    // and b which lie in the given range.
    static int maxDivisorRange(int a, int b,
                                   int l, int h)
    {
        int g = gcd(a, b);
        int res = -1;

        // Loop from 1 to sqrt(GCD(a, b).
        for (int i = l; i * i <= g && i <= h; i++)

            // if i divides the GCD(a, b), then
            // find maximum of three numbers res,
            // i and g/i
            if (g % i == 0)
                res = Math.max(res,
                             Math.max(i, g / i));

        return res;
    }

    {

        System.out.println(
             maxDivisorRange(a, b, l, h));
