Question

Write a PYTHON program that asks the user to input two positive integers (m, n) and determine the greatest common divisor or factor (gcd) of these two numbers.  Write a python function that will work similarly to Python's built-in function gcd().  You may use it within your program so that you can check if the built-in function and your function will produce the same result. 

For example:

1.  If m = 5 & n=10, their gcd = 5

2. If m = 11 & n = 7, their gcd = 1

3. If m = 15 & n = 10, their gcd = 5

(Note: Please provide comments that clearly explain what each main section of the code is accomplishing and how.)
