The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language is specially suitable for
documents that include \gls{maths}. \Glspl{formula} are rendered properly an
easily once one gets used to the commands. Given a set of numbers, there are
elementary methods to compute its \acrlong{gcd}, which is abbreviated
\acrshort{gcd}. This process is similar to that used for the \acrfull{lcm}.
