Abstract
The Euclidean Algorithm was first documented by Euclid (320–275 BC). Knuth (1981), p. 318, writes: “We might call it the granddaddy of all algorithms, because it is the oldest nontrivial algorithm that has survived to the present day.” It performs division with remainder repeatedly until the remainder becomes zero.
