Solution: Greatest Common Divisor of Strings

Explore how to determine the greatest common divisor string of two input strings by verifying concatenation order and calculating the GCD of their lengths. Learn the step-by-step approach to identify the shared base pattern and extract the largest repeating substring that forms both strings efficiently.

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. ...
