You then repeatedly divide the previous divisor by the previous remainder until there is no remainder. The last remainder you divided by is the greatest common divisor. We illustrate the Euclidean algorithm in computing gcd(77,52).

Definition: An algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor of two positive integers. It is Euclid(a,b){if (b=0) then return a; else return Euclid(b, a mod b);}. The run time complexity is O((log a)(log b)) bit operations. ... Also known as Euclidean algorithm.

The Euclidean Algorithm proceeds by dividing by , with remainder, then dividing the divisor by the remainder, and repeating this process until the remainder is zero. The greatest common factor of and is the last divisor.
