Solution: Greatest Common Divisor of Strings

Explore how to identify the largest string that divides two input strings by verifying concatenation equality and applying the greatest common divisor of string lengths. Understand the logic and implement an efficient solution with optimal time and space complexity for this common coding challenge.

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. ...
