Given two numbers m and n, write a method to return the first number r that is divisible by both (e.g., the least common multiple). ANS:Define q to be 1. for each prime number p less than m and n: find the largest a and b such that p^a m and p^b n let q = q * p^max(a, b) return q

Question

Accepted Answer

The method returns the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers m and n.

The method uses prime factorization to find the LCM.
It iterates through all prime numbers less than m and n.
For each prime number, it finds the largest power of the prime that divides both m and n.
The method then multiplies the current LCM by the prime raised to the maximum power.
Finally, it returns the computed LCM.
