Re: LCM numbers
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: LCM numbers
bobbym is right. I had gone through 42 but possibly made mistake in multiplication.
