GCD and HCF are practically the same thing. If you want to find the GCD between two numbers, here is a function i once made for that purpose. It works for two numbers though, but if you get the idea you can extend it for multiple numbers: def gcd(a, b): a = float(a); b=float(b) if a >b: smallest = b else: smallest = a counter = smallest; i = 0 while i < counter: i += 1 if (a%smallest==0) and (b%smallest==0) factor = smallest break smallest -= 1 return factor

yes they are same findGcd(int a, int b){ return (a == 0) ? b : findGcd(b%a, a); }
