GCD By Hand Writing Computation
There are several ways to find the greatest common divisor of two polynomials. Two of them are:
- Factorization, in which one finds the factors of each expression, then selects the set of common factors held by all from within each set of factors. This method may be useful only in very simple cases, as, like for the integers, factoring is usually much more difficult than computing the greatest common divisor. Moreover, there are fields of coefficient for which there is no factorization algorithm, while Euclidean algorithm always exists.
- The Euclidean algorithm, which can be used to find the GCD of two polynomials in the same manner as for two numbers.

Famous quotes containing the words hand, writing and/or computation:
“There is one thing that the American people always rise to and extend their hand to and that is the truth of justice, and of liberty, and of peace. We have accepted that truth and we are going to led by it ... and through us the world, out into pastures of quietness and peace such as the world never dreamed of before.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I’ve tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I’m afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“I suppose that Paderewski can play superbly, if not quite at his best, while his thoughts wander to the other end of the world, or possibly busy themselves with a computation of the receipts as he gazes out across the auditorium. I know a great actor, a master technician, can let his thoughts play truant from the scene ...”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
