EXP NO:4

EXTENDED EUCLID’S ALGORITHM

AIM:
To write a C++ program to find the greatest common divisor using euclid’s
theorem.

ALGORITHM:

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Declare the necessary array declarations and header files

Step 3: The input of two varaibles is obtained from the user

Step 4: According to the input given, the gcd of the two numbers is
calculated using the euclid’s theorem.

Step 5: The output is calculated using the Euclid’s formula and is


displayed on the screen

Step 6: Stop

SOURCE CODE:
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// Function for extended euclid algorithm

int gcdExtended(int a, int b, int *x, int *y)


{

// Base Case

if (a == 0)

*x = 0;

*y = 1;

return b;

int x1, y1; // To store results of recursive call

int gcd = gcdExtended(b%a, a, &x1, &y1);

// recursive call to calculate the gcd

*x = y1 - (b/a) * x1;

*y = x1;

return gcd;

int main()

// to display the gcd

int x, y, a, b;

cout<<"Enter two numbers:";


cin>>a>>b;

int g = gcdExtended(a, b, &x, &y);

cout << "GCD(" << a << ", " << b

<< ") = " << g << endl;

return 0;

OUTPUT:

RESULT:
The gcd was found and the output was successfully displayed on the screen.
