Here is another simple program of greatest common divisor (GCD) implementation -
Euclid's Algorithm:
while m is greater than zero:
If n is greater than m, swap m and n.
Subtract n from m.
n is the GCD
Simple python code :)
import sys
line = sys.stdin.readline()
[n,m] = line.split(None)
n = int(n)
m = int(m)
def gcd(n,m):
while(m > 0):
if(n > m):
t = m
m = n
n = t
m = m - n
print n
gcd(n,m)
