(** * Greatest common divisor (gcd). *)
(** There is no unicity of the gcd; hence we define the predicate [gcd a b d] expressing that [d] is a gcd of [a] and [b]. (We show later that the [gcd] is actually unique if we discard its sign.) *)

(forall x : Z, (x | a)%Z -> (x | b)%Z -> (x | d)%Z) -> gcd a b d.
