Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-01-13 16:08:24 UTC 
In Excel 2007 (and OOo) GCD(2,0) is 2. This makes mathematical sense since 2 is the largest integer that is a divisor of both 0 and 2.

Gnumeric on the other hand yields #NUM!.

Note that Excel 2007 (and OOo) yield 0 for gcd(0,0). That is of course mathematical nonsense and we should not try to copy them there.

Sounds reasonable.  Will fix.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2010-01-13 17:12:55 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
