Parameters: This function accepts two GMP numbers $num1 and $num2 as parameters. This function calculates the GCD of these two numbers.
Return Value: This function returns a positive GMP number which is the GCD of $num1 and $num2.
Examples:
Input : gmp_gcd("12", "21")
Output : 3
Input : gmp_gcd("15", "30")
Output : 15

Program 1:
<?php $gcd = gmp_gcd("12", "21"); echo gmp_strval($gcd) . "\n"; ?> |
Output:
3
Program 2:
