"In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm, or Euclid's algorithm, is a method for computing the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two (usually positive) integers, also known as the greatest common factor (GCF) or highest common factor (HCF). ...
The GCD of two positive integers is the largest integer that divides both of them without leaving a remainder (the GCD of two integers in general is defined in a more subtle way).
In its simplest form, Euclid's algorithm starts with a pair of positive integers, and forms a new pair that consists of the smaller number and the difference between the larger and smaller numbers. The process repeats until the numbers in the pair are equal. That number then is the greatest common divisor of the original pair of integers.
The main principle is that the GCD does not change if the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number. ... Since the larger of the two numbers is reduced, repeating this process gives successively smaller numbers, so this repetition will necessarily stop sooner or later - when the numbers are equal (if the process is attempted once more, one of the numbers will become 0)."

The flowchart example "Euclidean algorithm" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Mathematics solution from the Science and Education area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Create Flowcharts for an
Accounting Information System

Accounting information is a system of interrelated processes which represent financial and accounting data, required for decision making. For representing the accounting processes in a visual and easy for perception form are constructed Accounting Flowcharts. For their creation are used special flowchart symbols, this makes Accounting flowcharts understandable for all users of accounting information system and helps them easy understand the sequence of steps involved to accounting processes. But how to create Flowcharts for an Accounting Information System fast and easy? Use of special design software is useful for this. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with Accounting Flowcharts solution is the best for creation accurate Accounting Flowcharts, for documentation and visually communication on how accounting processes work, how each operation is done. Accounting Flowcharts solution is supplied with library of predesigned commonly used vector symbols, Accounting Flowchart templates and samples demonstrating receiving, purchasing, payment, and other accounting processes.
