There was a problem hiding this comment.
If b is already zero trying to do a % b throws DivisionByZeroError. This could be fixed by breaking before this line, or using while instead of loop

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This goes into an infinite loop if a is equal to b. Moving the break to happen before the if would fix the issue, but I think even better would be to use a while loop instead:
while a != b
if a > b
a -= b
else
b -= a
end
