经典算法（2）- 用欧几里得算法求两个整数的最大公约数(GCD)

求两个整数的GCD有两个方法：采用欧几里得算法(Euclid's Algorithm)和二进制GCD算法, 这里实现的是欧几里得算法。

欧几里得算法基本原理很简单，即:
 m = q1.n + r1
 m2= q2.n2 + r2

    ....

 mi = qi.ni + ri
其中m2=n, n2=r1....

gcd(m,n) = gcd(m2,n2) ＝ gcd(mi,ni)....直到ri=0（因为0<=ri<ni，所以ri可以收敛到0）。

实现:

public class GCD_Euclid {
	//Euclid's Algorithm to solve gcd(greatest common divisor)
	public static int gcd(int m,int n){
		m = (m<0)?-m:m;
		n = (n<0)?-n:n;
		
		if(n==0)
			return m;
		/*
		//this swap is not needed, since: m % n=m when m<n; so the next recursion will change to gcd(n,m)
		if(m<n){
			int tmp = n;
			n=m;
			m=tmp;
		}	
		*/
		return gcd(n,m%n);
	}
	//an implementation without recursion
