# std::gcd

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric

Defined in header `<numeric>` |  |
template< class M, class N> constexpr std::common_type_t<M, N> gcd(M m, N n); |  | (since C++17)

Computes the greatest common divisor of the integers `m` and `n`.

### [edit] Parameters

m, n | - | integer values

### [edit] Return value

If both `m` and `n` are zero, returns zero. Otherwise, returns the greatest common divisor of `|m|` and `|n|`.

### [edit] Remarks

If either `M` or `N` is not an integer type, or if either is (possibly cv-qualified) bool, the program is ill-formed.

If either `|m|` or `|n|` is not representable as a value of type std::common_type_t<M, N>, the behavior is undefined.

### [edit] Exceptions

Throws no exceptions.
