GCD of digits of a given number

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

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

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

{ 
    long n = 2448; 
    cout << digitGCD(n); 
    return 0; 
}
