Given a and b the number wich you have to find the GCD (Greatst Common divisor, I think that what you are looking for) Method 1 : Find the prime decomposition of both number a = p1 * p2 * p3 ... b = p'1 * p'2 * p'3 ... GCD(a,b) = min(p1,p'1) * min(p^2,p'2) Method 2 : Euclide's algorithm, lenghtier, but somewhat easier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

Find the prime factors of the given numbers and multiply the common factors with no repeats! Eg., for 6,20 6=2*3 20=2*2*5 Common factors = 2 So, gcd=2
