gmp_gcd

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)

gmp_gcdCalcule le GCD

Description

resource gmp_gcd ( resource $a , resource $b )

Calcule le PGCD (plus grand commun diviseur) de a et b. Le résultat est toujours positif, même si l'un des deux (ou les deux) nombres est négatif.

Liste de paramètres

a

Il peut être soit une ressource GMP, soit une chaîne numérique qu'il est possible de convertir plus tard en un nombre.

b

Il peut être soit une ressource GMP, soit une chaîne numérique qu'il est possible de convertir plus tard en un nombre.

Valeurs de retour

Un nombre positif GMP qui se divise avec a et b.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec gmp_gcd()

<?php
$gcd 
gmp_gcd("12""21");
echo 
gmp_strval($gcd) . "\n";
?>

No need to compile gmp functions in just for the GCD function...  use this one instead:

function GCD($num1, $num2) {
 /* finds the greatest common factor between two numbers */
    if ($num1 < $num2) {
        $t = $num1;
        $num1 = $num2;
        $num2 = $t;
    }
    while ($t = ($num1 % $num2) != 0) {
        $num1 = $num2;
        $num2 = $t;
    }
    return $num2;
}

Here's my solution for getting the GCD of several numbers.

<?php

/*
 * function gcd()
 *
 * returns greatest common divisor
 * between two numbers
 * tested against gmp_gcd()
 */
function gcd($a, $b)
{
    if (
$a == 0 || $b == 0)
        return
abs( max(abs($a), abs($b)) );
       
   
$r = $a % $b;
    return (
$r != 0) ?
       
gcd($b, $r) :
       
abs($b);
}

/*
 * function gcd_array()
 *
 * gets greatest common divisor among
 * an array of numbers
 */
function gcd_array($array, $a = 0)
{
   
$b = array_pop($array);
    return (
$b === null) ?
        (int)
$a :
       
gcd_array($array, gcd($a, $b));
}

?>

The previous function returns just 1 under php 5.2.4  but the following seems to work (m>0,n>0):

function gcd($m,$n)
{
    $_m=$m;$r=1;
    if($m<$n){$t=$m;$m=$n;$n=$t;}   
    while($r)
    {
        $r=(floor($m/$n)*$n)-$m;     
        $_n=$n;$n=$r;$m=$_m;
    }    
    return abs($_n);
}

here is an elegant recursive solution
<?php   

function gcd($a,$b) {
    return (
$a % $b) ? gcd($b,$a % $b) : $b;
}

?>

If you do not consier a or b as possible negative numbers, a GCD funktion may return a negative GCD, wich is NOT a greatest common divisor, therefore a funktion like this may be better. This considers the simplyfying of (-3)-(-6) where gcd on -3 and -6 would result in 3, not -3 as with the other function. (-3)-(-6) is (-1)-(-2) NOT (1)-(2)

function eGCD($a,$b){
  if($a < 0)         $a=0-$a;
  if($b < 0 )        $b=0-$b;
  if($a == 0 || $b == 0)    return 1;
  if($a == $b)              return a;
 
do{
  $rest=(int) $a % $b;  $a=$b; $b=$rest;
  }while($rest >0);
return $a;
}

The following function is more accurate:

function GCD($num1, $num2) {
/* finds the greatest common factor between two numbers */
   while ($num2 != 0){
     $t = $num1 % $num2;
     $num1 = $num2;
     $num2 = $t;
   }
   return $num1;
}

Try...

function gcd($a, $b){
    $b = ( $a == 0 )? 0 : $b;
    return ( $a % $b )? gcd($b, abs($a - $b)) : $b;
}

always returns positive number even if one or both numbers are negative (as per the gmp_gcd function)

order agnostic, larger number can be $b or $a doesn't matter

also, other examples here were failing when one of the numbers was 0
