The greatest common divisor of two or more integers, not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of them evenly; it is also called the greatest common factor. For two integers x and y this value is written as gcd of x and y, and for example the greatest common divisor of 8 and 12 is 4. The word greatest in the name is sometimes replaced with highest, and divisor with factor, giving alternative names such as highest common factor, and the notion extends beyond ordinary integers to polynomials and other commutative rings.

Is Kind Of Object
Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
