Apologies, I didn't mean to make it seem like I ignored your comments. I
should've added a note. After you pointed out that gcd() only works for
unsigned elements, I added test cases for negative values, and all tests
passed. I'll look into it more.

rescale_voltage_divider_props() seems to also use gcd() with signed
integers.

Thanks,
Liam
