Thank you.

LCM doesn't currently work with non-integers eg LCM(0.4;1.2) so you'd probably 
need to tackle that as well if you wanted to have GCD working with non-integers.

The other issue about negative arguments is when they are mixed, eg -12 and +15.
GCD and LCM return negative results - I guess as a matter of definition rather 
than mathematics?

That still obeys  |a*b| = GCD(a,b) * LCM(a,b)
but the | | is then crucial. The formula does appear sometimes as
a*b = GCD(a,b) * LCM(a,b)
in which case it fails
