Below is the Java sample code on printing the GCD of the 2 numbers in recursion. The GCD recursive methods is quite an easy problem to program if you know its recursive definition. Since recursion is basically has a base case and general case, the program will stop on looping if it meets the condition of the base case and return a value of the general case if not. To have a glimpse of the recursive formula, here it is for you to evaluate and see how I transform it into java language.

GCD Recursive Definition:

Given two integers x and y

{ x if y==0
GCD(x, y) =
{ y if y != 0

Below is the following code for the recursive definition above.

Java Source Code on Printing the Greatest Common Divisor or GCD in Recursion

//java class
public class GCD
{
public static int gcd(int num1, int num2)
{
if(num2 == 0)
{
return num1;
}
else
{
return gcd(num2, num1%num2);
}
}
}
//main class
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Enter the base number: “);
int num1 = input.nextInt();
System.out.print(“Enter the power: “);
int num2 = input.nextInt();
GCD access = new GCD();
System.out.print(“The GCD of 2 numbers is: ” + access.gcd(num1, num2));
}
}

Here is the sample output of the program

Sample Output:

Enter the base number: 100

Enter the power: 45

The GCD of 2 numbers is: 5

Sample Output 2:

Enter the base number: 6

Enter the power: 8

The GCD of 2 numbers is: 2
