Greatest Common Divisor (Greatest Common Divisor)

Description

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

Parameters

$n$: sum of number of bits among the integers
