Abstract

A theory of divisibility, including greatest common divisors (gcd), which presents a new gcd algorithm for Gaussian integers suited to paper-and pencil computation is presented. This establishes that any two Gaussian integers have a greatest common divisor, and it is interesting to see that this result has an odd-even proof.
