To add to what Cornelius had, I have written a function that will take an array of numbers and return the least common multiple of them: function lcm_arr($items){ //Input: An Array of numbers //Output: The LCM of the numbers while(2 <= count($items)){ array_push($items, lcm(array_shift($items), array_shift($items))); } return reset($items); } //His Code below with $'s added for vars function gcd($n, $m) { $n=abs($n); $m=abs($m); if ($n==0 and $m==0) return 1; //avoid infinite recursion if ($n==$m and $n>=1) return $n; return $m<$n?gcd($n-$m,$n):gcd($n,$m-$n); } function lcm($n, $m) { return $m * ($n/gcd($n,$m)); } ---- Server IP: 86.55.8.30 Probable Submitter: 208.49.241.145 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.math.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70969 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70969 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70969 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
