How to compare values of two vectors - c++

Question

Is anybody there who has a code on how to compare values of two arrays ?
I have two vectors and I am looking for the biggest and equal value of the both list.
Here is the code:
void fractionInLowestTerm(int fNumerator, int fDenominator)
{
//let's get the dividers of fNumerator and fDenominator
std::vector<int> dividerOfNumerator;
std::vector<int> dividerOfDenominator;
for (int i = 1; i <= fNumerator; i++) {
if (fNumerator % i == 0) {
dividerOfNumerator.push_back(i);
}
}
for (int j = 1; fDenominator <= j; j++) {
if (fDenominator % j == 0) {
dividerOfDenominator.push_back(j);
}
}
// let's get the greatest common divider of a and b;
int pgcd = 1;
// I do not know how to compare the values of dividers to get the greatest common value on a and b there is the code I started writing to get that
for (int m = 0; m <= dividerOfNumerator.size() && m <= dividerOfDenominator.size(); m++) {
}
}

Answer 1

If I understand the problem correctly, you want to compare the elements in two arrays for each index and save the greater one into a third array. In this case, just use your favourite max function for each index. For example:
void compare(int* array1, int* array2, int* array3, int size)
{
for (int member = 0; member < size; ++member) {
array3[member] = std::max(array1[member], array2[member]);
}
}
or if you want to compare lists and write into third array that which array has bigger value in that index you can use following code
void compare(int* array1, int* array2, int* array3, int size)
{
for (int member = 0; member < size; ++member) {
if (array1[member] > array2[member]) {
array3[member] = 1;
}
else if (array1[member] < array2[member]) {
array3[member] = 2;
}
else if (array1[member] == array2[member]) {
array3[member] = 0;
}
}
}

Since the vectors containing the divisors are already sorted, you can use the std::set_intersection algorithm like this:
std::vector<int> commonDivisors;
std::set_intersection(dividerOfNumerator.begin(), dividerOfNumerator.end(),
dividerOfDenominator.begin(), dividerOfDenominator.end(),
std::back_inserter(commonDivisors));
int pgcd = commonDivisors.back(); // guaranteed to be non-empty since 1 is always a divisor
Here's a demo.

Hello as you can see on the function name I wanted to write a function which put a function on the lowest term. I wanted to go through the gcd but I saw that it would consumes too much memory so here is what I've done. If it can help any member of the forum.
void fractionInLowestTerm(int fNumerator, int fDenominator){
//let's get on the divider of the number
for (int i = 1; i < fNumerator and i <fDenominator; i++) {
if (fNumerator%i == 0 and fDenominator%i == 0) {
fNumerator /= i;
fDenominator /= i;
i = 1;
}
}
}
