gcd
Calculates the greatest common divisor between two or more numbers/arrays.
The inner _gcd
function uses recursion.
Base case is when y
equals 0
. In this case, return x
.
Otherwise, return the GCD of y
and the remainder of the division x/y
.
const gcd = (...arr) => {
const _gcd = (x, y) => (!y ? x : gcd(y, x % y));
return [...arr].reduce((a, b) => _gcd(a, b));
};
gcd(8, 36); // 4
gcd(...[12, 8, 32]); // 4
