   I think the reader will accept the following axioms as valid,
   if gcd(0, 0) is to be defined as equal to zero.

   (An exercise for the reader is to prove ‘gcd_of_remainder’
   from gcd (u, v) == gcd (u, v - u). This requires definitions
   of multiplication and Euclidean division, which are encoded
   in terms of props in ‘prelude/SATS/arith_prf.sats’.)

A note on the last example: using brackets forces a and b to be evaluated before GCD is called.

=={{header|Common Lisp}}==
Common Lisp provides a ''gcd'' function.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">CL-USER> (gcd 2345 5432)
7</syntaxhighlight>

Here is an implementation using the do macro. We call the function <code>gcd*</code> so as not to conflict with <code>common-lisp:gcd</code>.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(defun gcd* (a b)
  (do () ((zerop b) (abs a))
    (shiftf a b (mod a b))))</syntaxhighlight>

Here is a tail-recursive implementation.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(defun gcd* (a b)
  (if (zerop b)
       a 
      (gcd2 b (mod a b))))</syntaxhighlight>

The last implementation is based on the loop macro.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(defun gcd* (a b)
  (loop for x = a then y
        and y = b then (mod x y)
        until (zerop y)
        finally (return x)))</syntaxhighlight>

For example:

Note that <code>+.</code> is a single, two character token.  GCD is a primitive in J (and anyone that has studied the right kind of mathematics should instantly recognize why the same operation is used for both GCD and OR -- among other things, GCD and boolean OR both have the same identity element: 0, and of course they produce the same numeric results on the same arguments (when we are allowed to use the usual 1 bit implementation of 0 and 1 for false and true) - more than that, though, GCD corresponds to George Boole's original "Boolean Algebra" (as it was later called). The redefinition of "Boolean algebra" to include logical negation came much later, in the 20th century).

gcd could also be defined recursively, if you do not mind a little inefficiency:

Racket provides a built-in gcd function. Here's a program that computes the gcd of 14 and 63:

(gcd 14 63)</syntaxhighlight>

Here's an explicit implementation. Note that since Racket is tail-calling, the memory behavior of this program is "loop-like", in the sense that this program will consume no more memory than a loop-based implementation.

<syntaxhighlight lang="racket">#lang racket

;; given two nonnegative integers, produces their greatest

That is already available as the ''gcd'' method of integers:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby">
40902.gcd(24140)  # => 34</syntaxhighlight>

Here's an implementation:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby">def gcd(u, v)
  u, v = u.abs, v.abs
  while v > 0
    u, v = v, u % v
  end
  u
end</syntaxhighlight>

   while m != 0 {
       let old_m = m;

===Stein's Algorithm===
Stein's algorithm is very much like Euclid's except that it uses bitwise operators (and consequently slightly more performant) and the integers must be unsigned. The following is a recursive implementation that leverages Rust's pattern matching.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">use std::cmp::{min, max};
fn gcd(a: usize, b: usize) -> usize {
    match ((a, b), (a & 1, b & 1)) {
        ((x, y), _) if x == y               => y,
        ((0, x), _) | ((x, 0), _)           => x,
        ((x, y), (0, 1)) | ((y, x), (1, 0)) => gcd(x >> 1, y),
        ((x, y), (0, 0))                    => gcd(x >> 1, y >> 1) << 1,
        ((x, y), (1, 1))                    => { let (x, y) = (min(x, y), max(x, y)); 
                                                 gcd((y - x) >> 1, x) 
                                               }
        _                                   => unreachable!(),

This doesn't need to be defined because it's a library function, but
it can be defined like this based on a recursive implementation of
Euclid's algorithm. This isn't the simplest possible solution because
it includes a bit shifting optimization that happens when both operands
are even.

like python

 [gcd

       [swap [dup] dip swap %]
    tailrec].

same with view: (swap [dup] dip swap % is replaced with a destructuring view)

 [gcd
