How to find GCD, LCM on a set of numbers

Question

What would be the easiest way to calculate Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple on a set of numbers? What math functions can be used to find this information?

Answer 1

import java.util.*;
public class lcm {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int lcmresult=1;
        System.out.println("Enter the number1: ");
        Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
        int a=s.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter the number2: ");
        int b=s.nextInt();
        int max=a>b?a:b;
        for(int i=2;i<=max;i++)
        {
            while(a%i==0||b%i==0)
            {
                lcmresult=lcmresult*i;
                if(a%i==0)
                    a=a/i;
                if(b%i==0)
                    b=b/i;
                if(a==1&&b==1)
                    break;
            }
        }
    System.out.println("lcm: "+lcmresult);
}
}
