which number is bigger( a or b): no one is bigger, both are same
a=a-b,....1..............+2a=b........................+a=b%2F2
b=b%2Ba......2..........+a=b-b=0..........so, .+a=0
+a=b-a.......3..........+2a=b........................+a=b%2F2
if
+a=b%2F2.........->........0=b%2F2........->........0%2A2=b.....->........b=0 too
so, a=b=0,
