Write a method called gcd that accepts two integers as parameters and returns the greatest common divisor
Question:
Write a method called gcd that accepts two integers as parameters and returns the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. The GCD of two integers a and b is the largest integer that is a factor of both a and b.
One efficient way to compute the GCD of two numbers is to use Euclid’s algorithm, which states the following:
GCD(a, b) = GCD(b, a % b)
GCD(a, 0) = Absolute value of a
