Find GCD with Recursion in R
Write a R program function to find the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of two numbers using recursion.
Sample Solution :
R Programming Code :
Output:
The GCD of 44 and 16 is: 4
Explatnaion:
In the exercise above,
- The "gcd()" function takes two parameters 'a' and 'b', representing the two numbers for which the GCD is to be found.
- It starts with a base case: if 'b' is 0, the GCD is 'a'.
- If 'b' is not 0, it uses recursion to find the GCD using the Euclidean algorithm, which states that the GCD of two numbers 'a' and 'b' is the same as the GCD of 'b' and the remainder when 'a' is divided by 'b'.
- The function is then tested with example inputs ('num1' and 'num2'), and the result is printed to the console.
