greatest common divisor (plural greatest common divisors)

1. (arithmetic, number theory) The largest positive integer (respectively polynomial, element of a given ring) that is a divisor of each of a given set of integers (respectively polynomials, elements of a given ring).

     Suppose ${\displaystyle (a_{0},a_{1},\dots ,a_{n})\in \mathbb {Z} }$ we say ${\displaystyle (a_{0},a_{1},\dots ,a_{n})}$ is primitive if the greatest common divisor of ${\displaystyle a_{0},a_{1},\dots ,a_{n}}$ is 1.

     This paper presents a regularization theory for numerical computation of polynomial greatest common divisors and a convergence analysis, along with a detailed description of a blackbox-type algorithm. […] As one of the fundamental algebraic problems with a long history, finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of univariate polynomials is an indispensable component of many algebraic computations besides being an important problem in its own right.
