Hi wossname,

" hate to be picky, but its not you know .

"Greatest Common Divisor" (GCD) if the right term. DEK says so, and he knows.

It would be unthinkable that you would dare contradict the Knuthmeister "


Gloves off here

All numbers, even prime numbers, are made up of multipliers, not devisors. I say that it is Highest Common Multiplier (But unfortunately I can't find it in my dictionary ) Who is DEK

Still, things have changed since my schooldays (1952) so maybe arithmetic has as well Or are you referring to the Yankee (or Dixie) version
