In mathematics, a greatest common divisor matrix (sometimes abbreviated as GCD matrix) is a matrix/

GCD matrix example

Let be a set of positive integers. Then the matrix having the greatest common divisor as its entry is referred to as the GCD matrix on . The LCM matrix is defined analogously.

Conjectures

Bourque-Ligh Conjecture: Bourque and Ligh (1992) conjectured that the LCM matrix on a GCD-closed set S is nonsingular. This conjecture was shown to be false by Haukkanen, Wang and Sillanpää (1997) and subsequently by Hong (1999).
