GCD of elements in a given range

Given two numbers n and m. Find the biggest integer a(gcd), such that all integers n, n + 1, n + 2, ..., m are divisible by a.
Examples:

Input : n = 1, m = 2
Output: 1
Explanation:
Here, series become 1, 2. So, the 
greatest no which divides both of 
them is 1.

Input : n = 475, m = 475
Output : 475
Explanation:
Here, series has only one term 475.
So, greatest no which divides 475 is 475.

Here, We have to examine only two cases:

if a = b : the segment consists of a single number, hence the answer is a.
if a < b : we have gcd(n, n + 1, n?+ 2, ..., m) = gcd(gcd(n, n + 1), n + 2, ..., m) = gcd(1, n + 2, ..., n) = 1.

C++

// GCD of given range
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
int rangeGCD(int n, int m)
{
    return (n == m)? n : 1;
}
  
int main()
{
    int n = 475;
    int m = 475;
    cout << rangeGCD(n, m);
    return 0;
}

Java

// GCD of given range
  
import java.io.*;
  
class GFG {
  
    static int rangeGCD(int n, int m)
    {
        return (n == m) ? n : 1;
    }
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int n = 475;
        int m = 475;
          
        System.out.println(rangeGCD(n, m));
    }

    return n if(n == m) else 1
      
# Driver code
n, m = 475, 475
print(rangeGCD(n, m))

PHP

<?php
// PHP program for 
// GCD of given range
  
// function returns the GCD
function rangeGCD($n, $m)
{
    return ($n == $m)? $n : 1;
}
  
    // Driver Code
    $n = 475;
    $m = 475;
    echo rangeGCD($n, $m);

JavaScript

<script>

// GCD of given range

   
    function rangeGCD( n,  m)
    {
        return (n == m) ? n : 1;
    }
   

        var n = 475;
        var m = 475;
           
        document.write(rangeGCD(n, m));


</script>

Output:

Time Complexity: O(1)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
