try to make gcd as large as possible; gcd(a,b)=gcd(b-a,a)
let's suppose $$$a \leq b$$$, then $$$\gcd{(a + k, b + k)} = \gcd{(a + k, b - a)}$$$
$$$\gcd{(a + k, b - a)}$$$ is a divisor of $$$b - a$$$
for each $$$d$$$, divisor of $$$b - a$$$, we are trying to find such k that $$$\gcd{(a + k, b - a)} = d$$$
one more hint?
d is a divisor of a + k, so there is a integer n that a + k = n * d. Therefore, k = n * d — a. We also want k to be as small as possible, so n should be as small as possible.
