Java Program to Implement Stein GCD Algorithm

This is a Java Program to Implement Stein GCD Algorithm. The binary GCD algorithm, also known as Stein’s algorithm, is an algorithm that computes the greatest common divisor of two nonnegative integers. Stein’s algorithm uses simpler arithmetic operations than the conventional Euclidean algorithm. It replaces division with arithmetic shifts, comparisons and subtraction.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Stein GCD Algorithm. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
