PolynomialGCD

Usage
Notes
Further Examples

This gives the greatest common divisor of a pair of polynomials.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

Here is the greatest common divisor of another pair.

In[2]:=  

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

In[4]:=  

We can take the gcd of polynomials involving Gaussian rationals, and this can even be done modulo a real Gaussian prime.

In[5]:=  

In[6]:=  

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

In[9]:=  

This pair of polynomials are taken to be over an extension of the rational numbers. PolynomialGCD cannot find a nontrivial gcd with the default setting of None for the option Extension.

In[10]:=  

Out[10]=

PolynomialGCD finds a nontrivial gcd when the option Extension is set to Automatic.

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=
