# HumanEval/13

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; your file must define it at module level.

```python


def greatest_common_divisor(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """ Return a greatest common divisor of two integers a and b
    >>> greatest_common_divisor(3, 5)
    1
    >>> greatest_common_divisor(25, 15)
    5
    """
```

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

```python

    >>> greatest_common_divisor(3, 5)

    >>> greatest_common_divisor(25, 15)

    while b:
        a, b = b, a % b
    return abs(a)
