The use of GCD as an extension of [[Or]], and its extension to complex rational numbers, was proposed by [[Eugene McDonnell]] at [[APL75]].<ref>[[Eugene McDonnell]]. [https://doi.org/10.1145/800117.803810 "A Notation for the GCD and LCM Functions"] ([https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/eem/gcd.htm web]) at [[APL75]].</ref> This definition has become common among many APLs, with [[SHARP APL]], [[Dyalog APL]] (as of [[Dyalog APL 11.0|version 11.0]]), [[J]], [[NARS2000]], [[GNU APL]], [[ngn/apl]], and [[dzaima/APL]] adopting it. However, some APLs, such as [[APL2]] and [[APLX]], keep [[Or]] as a pure [[boolean function]] and do not extend it, while [[K]] uses the ceiling function as Or.
