You may want to use the binary GCD function since its faster. <?php function gcd($u, $v) { $u = abs($u); $v = abs($v); if ($u == 0) return $v; if ($v == 0) return $u; $k = 0; while (($u & 1) == 0 && ($v & 1) == 0) { /* while both u and v are even */ $u >>= 1; /* shift u right, dividing it by 2 */ $v >>= 1; /* shift v right, dividing it by 2 */ $k++; /* add a power of 2 to the final result */ } /* At this point either u or v (or both) is odd */ do { if (($u & 1) == 0) /* if u is even */ $u >>= 1; /* divide u by 2 */ else if (($v & 1) == 0) /* else if v is even */ $v >>= 1; /* divide v by 2 */ else if ($u >= $v) /* u and v are both odd */ $u = ($u-$v) >> 1; else /* u and v both odd, v > u */ $v = ($v-$u) >> 1; } while ($u > 0); return $v << $k; /* returns v * 2^k */ } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 68.238.245.163 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmp-gcd.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66252 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66252 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66252 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
