numpy.gcd(arr1, arr2, out = None, where = True, casting = ‘same_kind’, order = ‘K’, dtype = None) : This mathematical function helps user to calculate GCD value of |arr1| and |arr2| elements. Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of two or more numbers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive number that divides each of the numbers. Example: Finding GCD of 120 and 2250 
120 = 2^3 * 3 * 5
2250 = 2 * 3^2 * 5^3

Now, GCD of 120 and 2250 = 2 * 3 * 5 = 30
Parameters : arr1 / arr2 : [array_like]Input array. Return : Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of two or more numbers.
Code : Python3 1== 
# Python program illustrating 
# gcd() method 
import numpy as np 

arr1 = [120, 24, 42, 10]
arr2 = [2250, 12, 20, 50]

print ("arr1 : ", arr1)
print ("arr2 : ", arr2)

print ("\nGCD of arr1 and arr2 : ", np.gcd(arr1, arr2))
print ("\nGCD of arr1 and 10   : ", np.gcd(arr1, 10))
Output : 
arr1 : [120, 24, 42, 10]
arr2 : [2250, 12, 20, 50]

GCD of arr1 and arr2 : [30, 12,  2, 10]

GCD of arr1 and 10   : [10,  2,  2, 10]
