Is the GCD always positive?

The greatest common divisor of two integers is the largest integer that is a divisor of both. For example, gcd(14, 6) = 2, and the gcd(-10, 15) = 5. The greatest common divisor is always positive (why?). The primes common to both 396 and 120 are 2, 2, 3.

Regarding this, what does GCD mean?
