Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the initial step in the naive GCD algorithm?

  • List all factors of m and n
  • Check if m is equal to n
  • Use recursion

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think back to the beginning of our discussion on the GCD.

Question 2

True or False: We only need to search for common factors up to the maximum of the two numbers.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Join with what you know about factors.

Question 1

If m = 36 and n = 60, determine the GCD using the optimized algorithm and describe each step.

πŸ’‘ Hint: List out the found factors and identify shared ones.

Question 2

Analyze the complexity difference in both naive and optimized GCD algorithms as m and n become large.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the potential reduction in iterations.
