When the Euclidean algorithm yields a greatest common divisor of 1, it means the two input numbers are relatively prime (or coprime). This indicates that they share no common positive integer divisors other than 1.
Conditions: The inputs are natural numbers.; The Euclidean algorithm terminates with a last nonzero remainder of 1.

In the displayed Euclidean algorithm, a and b are the two initial natural numbers whose gcd is being found. qi represents the quotient at the i-th division step.
Conditions: The symbols are from the general statement of the Euclidean algorithm on the left board.

The Euclidean algorithm is a method for finding the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two natural numbers. It is set up by repeatedly applying the division algorithm.
Conditions: The inputs a and b are natural numbers.; The division algorithm is used at each step.
