::: This gets into the definition of GCD. What you are proposing here -- that 0 GCD 0 be an exceptional case -- would mean that GCD is not associative. Meanwhile, Boolean algebra/rings uses an associative definition for GCD. So I guess I do not feel motivated to adopt your definition. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:29, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
