R help - Aug 2010 - greatest common divisor

Hello, 

Is there a function in R with which we could find the greatest common
divisor directly? 
Or is there a funciton, which could help us to find the remainder of a
division directly? 
Best wishes! Thank you!



Your truly, Qing

Learn to search:

                   restrict = c("Rhelp10", "Rhelp08",
"Rhelp02",
"functions" ),
                   matchesPerPage = 100, ...)
          RSiteSearch(string=string,  restrict = restrict,   
matchesPerPage = matchesPerPage, ...)

 > rhelpSearch("greatest common divisor")

Same advice ... with the additional search strategy of:

?"%%"

  #integer division remainder, but read all the caveats about using R  
for activities regarding the different data types of numeric and  
integer.
