Applications

Simplify fractions, find common denominators for addition/subtraction, and schedule recurring events that happen at different intervals (e.g., maintenance cycles).

The Methodology

Utilizes the Euclidean Algorithm for GCD. LCM is derived using the formula: LCM(a,b) = (a × b) / GCD(a,b) .

Fun Fact: The Euclidean algorithm is one of the oldest numerical algorithms still in common use today!
