In this paper we present a formalization in the Mizar system [2, 1] of the correctness of the subtraction-based version of Euclid’s algorithm computing the greatest common divisor of natural numbers. The algorithm is written in terms of simple-named complex-valued nominative data [11, 4].The validity of the algorithm is presented in terms of semantic Floyd-Hoare triples over such data [7]. Proofs of the correctness are based on an inference system for an extended Floyd-Hoare logic with partial pre- and post-conditions [8, 10, 5, 3].
