Make Numbers Equal

Problem Overview

• Given two integers A and B, repeatedly subtract the smaller from the larger (each operation costs 1) until they become equal; output the total cost.
• Input: two space-separated integers A and B. Output: total cost (number of operations). Constraints: N/A.
• Domain: basic arithmetic with iterative subtraction, modeling balancing/normalization where each adjustment has unit cost.
• From Xperi interviews; this problem is a common coding interview and interview question.
