The boost::math::gcd function template returns the greatest common
(nonnegative) divisor of the two integers passed to it.
`boost::math::gcd_range` is the iteration of the above gcd algorithm over a
range, returning the greatest common divisor of all the elements. The algorithm
terminates when the gcd reaches unity or the end of the range. Thus it also
returns the iterator after the last element inspected because this may not be
equal to the end of the range. The variadic version of `gcd` behaves similarly
but does not indicate which input value caused the gcd to reach unity.
The boost::math::lcm function template returns the least common
(nonnegative) multiple of the two integers passed to it.
The function templates are parameterized on the function arguments'
IntegerType, which is also the return type. Internally, these function
templates use an object of the corresponding version of the
gcd_evaluator and lcm_evaluator class templates, respectively.
As with gcd, there are range and variadic versions of the function for
more than 2 arguments.
Note that these functions are constexpr in C++14 and later only.
They are also declared `noexcept` when appropriate.
