To find the greatest common divisor of two large numbers, repeatedly apply the division-with-remainder step. Start by dividing the larger number by the smaller number.
Conditions: The inputs are two positive integers.; The division algorithm is applied at each step.; The process stops when a remainder equals 0.

Conditions: The inputs are two positive integers.; The division algorithm is applied at each step.; The process stops when a remainder equals 0.
Strictly speaking, the standard stopping condition for the Euclidean algorithm is to continue until the remainder is 0. The last nonzero remainder is then the gcd.
Conditions: The inputs are natural numbers.; The Euclidean algorithm is being applied.

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.
