Template:Gcd
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template.

You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
This template calculates the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two parameters. It returns the value of gcd. Zero is returned when calculation is too complex (this implementation only allows for ten iterations of the Euclidean algorithm).
Examples[change source]
- {{gcd|16|6}} → 2
- {{gcd|544|119}} → 17
- {{gcd|2089|3571}} → 0 (algorithm iteration limit reached)
