Greatest Common Divisor (Greatest Common Divisor)

Description

Let $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ be given nonzero integers. Then $g$ is called the greatest common divisor (GCD) of $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ if and only if it is the largest integer that divides all $a_1, \ldots, a_n$.

Parameters

n: number of integers
