Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Using two randomly chosen integers, manually compute their gcd using both the naive and Euclidean methods, noting the number of steps taken in both.

💡 Hint: Compare the work needed when using the two methods.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a small program in Python that computes the gcd using both the naive and Euclidean methods and observe the performance with large numbers.

💡 Hint: Ensure your program can handle very large inputs.
