START:
MOV AX, DATA
MOV DS, AX
; INITIALISATION OF DATA
SEGMENT
MOV AX, NUM1
; MOVE FIRST NUMBER TO AX
MOV BX, NUM2
; MOVE SECOND NUMBER TO BX
UP:
CMP AX, BX

; IF FIRST NUMBER IS SMALLER
PUT IT BX
; MEANING SMALL NUMBER MUST
STAY IN BX

; INITIALISE DX
DIV BX
; DIVIDE (BIGGER
NUMBER)/(SMALLER NUMBER)
CMP DX, 0

NOT

; IF ZERO VOILA YOU HAVE FOUND
THE GCD IN THE SMALLER NUMBER
MOV AX, DX
; IF NON ZERO MOVE REMAINDER
TO AX

Understanding the program
What I did was basically divide the
larger number with the smaller number.
If we get remainder 0 then the
smaller number is our GCD for the two given number.
If we don’t get a zero remainder we
transfer the remainder to AX and then again repeat the process till we get
that zero remainder. In short I perform the same procedure we use
mathematically to find the Greatest Common Denominator.
