Problem: Greatest Common Divisor of Strings

med
30 min
Explore how to determine the greatest common divisor of two strings by identifying repeated substring patterns and applying efficient problem-solving techniques. This lesson helps you understand string manipulation challenges common in coding interviews, enhancing your ability to solve similar problems with confidence.

Statement

For two strings s and t, we say that t divides s if and only if s can be formed by concatenating one or more copies of t together (i.e., s = t + t + ... + t).

Given two strings str1 and str2, return the largest string x such that x divides both str1 and str2. If no such string exists, return an empty string.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq str1.length, str2.length 1000\leq 1000

  • str1 and str2 consist of English uppercase letters.
