Find HCF to GCD in Python

# Python program to find the H.C.F of two input number
# define a function
def computeHCF(x, y):
# choose the smaller number

if x > y:

smaller = y

else:

smaller = x

for i in range(1, smaller+1):

if((x % i == 0) and (y % i == 0)):

hcf = i

return hcf

num1 = 54
num2 = 24
# take input from the user
# num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))
# num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))
print("The H.C.F. of", num1,"and", num2,"is", computeHCF(num1, num2))

Output:

The H.C.F. of 54 and 24 is 6
