HackerEarth Coprimes problem solution

In this HackerEarth Coprimes problem solution, You are provided an integer n. Your task is to determine the largest integer a (a < n - 1) that is coprime of n. This implies that gcd(a,n) = 1.

HackerEarth Coprimes problem solution.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

typedef long double ld ;
#define long long long int
using namespace std;
#define mp make_pair
#define pb push_back
#define x first
#define y second
typedef pair<long,long> pll;

const int N=1e5+1;

long GCD(long a,long b)
{
while(a && b)
{
a=a%b;
if(a)
b=b%a;
}
return a+b;
}

int main()
{
ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(0);
srand(time(NULL));

int t=1;
while(t--)
{
long n;
cin>>n;
assert(3<=n && n<=1e18);

if(n&1)
cout<<n-2<<"\n";
else
{
long temp=2;
while(true)
{
long temp_gcd=GCD(n,n-temp);
if(temp_gcd==1)
{
cout<<n-temp<<"\n";
break;
}
temp++;
}
}

}

return 0;
}

Second solution

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;
const int maxn = 2e6 + 17;

ll n;
int main(){
ios::sync_with_stdio(0), cin.tie(0);
cin >> n;
if(n % 2 == 0){
for(int i = n - 3; ; i -= 2)
if(gcd(n, i) == 1){
cout << i << '\n';
break;
}
}
else
cout << n - 2 << '\n';
}
