The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≥ A yields " yes " ( or true ) ( more accurately the number b in location B is greater than or equal to the number a in location A ) THEN the algorithm specifies B ← B − A ( meaning the number b − a replaces the old b ).

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( originating from al-Khwārizmī, the famous Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī ) is a step-by-step procedure for calculations.

More precisely, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function.
