Question

Write a function that when given two integers, x and y, returns the maximum divisor of x or y, excluding x or y themselves. For example, if the two integers are 8 and 9, the divisors of 8 (excluding 8) are 1, 2, and 4 while the divisors of 9 (excluding 9) are 1 and 3. The maximum is 4.

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MaxDivisor {

    public static int maximumFactor(int x, int y) {
        for (int i = Math.min(x-1, y-1); i >= 1; i--) {
            if (x % i == 0 || y % i == 0) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter two integers: ");
        int x = in.nextInt(), y = in.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Maximum divisor of " + x + " and " + y + " is " + maximumFactor(x, y));
        in.close();
    }
