Is division operator faster than modulo operator ? Why ?
Time complexity : GCD
Yes Division operator is bit faster than Modulo operator as for calculating the modulo we need to do divisions, than we need to store the remainder. Even though the difference in both will not be visible in modern CPU. How Division is performed and how storing is done is an entirely different subject.
