The speaker verbally says "greatest common denominator," but the mathematical notation on the board is "gcd," which conventionally stands for "greatest common divisor." The context of dividing integers to find a common factor confirms that the intended concept is the greatest common divisor, and the spoken word is a verbal slip.
Conditions: The video discusses finding the common factor of two integers.; The board displays the notation gcd(a;b).; The procedure involves repeated integer division.

When the Euclidean algorithm yields a greatest common divisor of 1, it means the two input numbers are relatively prime (or coprime). This indicates that they share no common positive integer divisors other than 1.
Conditions: The inputs are natural numbers.; The Euclidean algorithm terminates with a last nonzero remainder of 1.
