Q.

What is the computational complexity of Binary GCD algorithm where a and b are integers?

A. o (log a + log b)2)
B. o (log (a + b))
C. o (log ab)
D. o (log a-b)
Answer» A. o (log a + log b)2)
Explanation: from the binary gcd algorithm, it is found that the computational complexity is o (log a + log b)2) as the total number of steps in the execution is at most the total sum of number of bits of a and b.
