Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request implements a robust and efficient Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) calculator using prime factorization method in Python.

Key Implementation Details

Prime Factorization Function (get_prime_factors)

• Decomposes numbers into their prime factors
• Handles special cases like 1, even, and odd numbers
• Uses an efficient algorithm with O(√n) time complexity
• Raises ValueError for invalid inputs (non-positive integers)

GCD Calculation Function (gcd_prime_factors)

• Calculates GCD by identifying and multiplying common prime factors
• Robust handling of edge cases:
  • Zero inputs
  • Negative numbers (takes absolute value)
  • Large numbers
• Supports finding GCD for two integers

Implementation Highlights

• Efficient prime factorization algorithm
• Comprehensive error handling
• Type hints for improved type safety
• Detailed docstrings explaining function behavior

Testing Approach

• Implemented comprehensive test suite covering:
  1. Basic prime factorization scenarios
  2. Edge cases (zero, negative numbers)
  3. Coprime number detection
  4. Large number computations
• All tests passing with 100% coverage of core functionality

Acceptance Criteria Met

• ✅ Correctly implements GCD calculation using prime factors
