Both terms are used and are synonymous, so the two tags should be made synonymous. I know it is sometimes done, but I don't know how. — Michael Hardy Jun 29 at 19:18

@MichaelHardy Any user who has score at least 5 in the (greatest-common-divisor) tag can suggest a synonym here. Then other users with sufficient score can vote for or against the synonym. But in this case I would expect moderators to do that since +16/-1 since for me like a clear sign of consensus. (If a moderator suggests a synonym, it is approved immediately, without need of votes from other users.) — Martin Sleziak 38 secs ago

It appears that many new users are not aware of the MathJax tutorial. Aryabhata pointed out in a comment that the existing link to it is not particularly prominent. I considered a proposal to add it to the tour of the site, but it doesn't seem to fit among the bullet items. Is there any other part of the tour that's mod-editable?

Could some moderator please take care of the gcd related tags. This is difficult for the cummunity to resolve, there are plenty of meta-posts, and the current situation is a complete mess since quite some time.

In brief, gcd is a synonym of divisibilty, while greatest-common-divisor is not and neither is highest-common-factor. Also least-common-multiple is not. Whatever one thinks is the optimal situation, I doubt anybody will think this is reasonable.
