LCM and GCD
How to use:
GCD (Greatest Common Divisor): GCD: The largest positive number that divides all given numbers
LCM (Least Common Multiple): LCM: The smallest positive number that is divisible by all given numbers
Example:
Numbers: 12, 18, 24
GCD(12, 18, 24) = 6 (greatest common divisor)
LCM(12, 18, 24) = 72 (least common multiple)
