C program to find HCF and LCM using recursion
This tutorial on finding HCF and LCM of a whole number using C language was helpful to understand the basic techniques and mathematical operations in C language.
#include <stdio.h>
long gcd(long, long);
int main() {
long x, y, hcf, lcm;
printf("Enter two integers\n");
scanf("%ld%ld", &x, &y);
hcf = gcd(x, y);
lcm = (x*y)/hcf;
printf("Greatest common divisor of %ld and %ld = %ld\n", x, y, hcf);
printf("Least common multiple of %ld and %ld = %ld\n", x, y, lcm);
return 0;
}
long gcd(long a, long b) {
if (b == 0) {
return a;
}
else {
return gcd(b, a % b);
}
}
