Looking at the docs, I think it's worth going a little further than
just saying what the acronyms stand for -- especially since the
behaviour for zero inputs is an implementation choice (albeit the most
common one). I propose the following:
+ <entry>
+ greatest common divisor — the largest positive number that
+ divides both inputs with no remainder; returns <literal>0</literal> if
+ both inputs are zero
+ </entry>
and:
+ <entry>
+ least common multiple — the smallest strictly positive number
+ that is an integer multiple of both inputs; returns
<literal>0</literal>
+ if either input is zero
+ </entry>
(I have tried to be precise in my use of terms like "number" and
"integer", to cover the different cases)
