Given two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ such that (0 <= a <= 10^12 and b <= b < 10^250). Find the GCD of two given numbers.
Examples :
Input: a = 978 b = 89798763754892653453379597352537489494736 Output: 6 Input: a = 1221 b = 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829 Output: 3
Solution : In the given problem, we can see that first number ‘a’ can be handled by long long int data type but second number ‘b’ can not be handled by any int data type. Here we read second number as a string and we will try to make it less than and equal to ‘a’ by taking it’s modulo with ‘a’.
Below is implementation of the above idea.
// C++ program to find GCD of two numbers such that // the second number can be very large. #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
typedef long long int ll;
// function to find gcd of two integer numbers ll gcd(ll a, ll b) { if (!a)
return b;
return gcd(b % a, a);
} // Here 'a' is integer and 'b' is string. // The idea is to make the second number (represented // as b) less than and equal to first number by // calculating its mod with first integer number // using basic mathematics ll reduceB(ll a, char b[])
{ // Initialize result
ll mod = 0;
// calculating mod of b with a to make
// b like 0 <= b < a
for ( int i = 0; i < strlen (b); i++)
mod = (mod * 10 + b[i] - '0' ) % a;
return mod; // return modulo
} // This function returns GCD of 'a' and 'b' // where b can be very large and is represented // as a character array or string ll gcdLarge(ll a, char b[])
{ // Reduce 'b' (second number) after modulo with a
ll num = reduceB(a, b);
// gcd of two numbers
return gcd(a, num);
} // Driver program int main()
{ // first number which is integer
ll a = 1221;
// second number is represented as string because
// it can not be handled by integer data type
char b[] = "1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829" ;
if (a == 0)
cout << b << endl;
else
cout << gcdLarge(a, b) << endl;
return 0;
