Stop when either number becomes zero. Strategy Initialize ops = 0. While both numbers are non-zero: Subtract the smaller from the larger. Increment ops. Return ops. Java Code: class Solution { public int countOperations(int num1, int num2) { int ops = 0; while (num1 != 0 && num2 != 0) { if (num1 >= num2) ...
