How to calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of two integers in Go?

To calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of two integers in Go, you can use the following algorithm:

Import the "math" package to access the "Max" function.

import "math"

Create a function called "LCM" that takes two integers as parameters and returns an integer:

func LCM(a, b int) int {
  // Calculate the maximum of the two numbers
  max := math.Max(float64(a), float64(b))

  // Loop through multiples of max to find the LCM
  for i := max; ; i += max {
    // Check if the current multiple is divisible by both numbers
    if i%a == 0 && i%b == 0 {
      return i // Return the LCM
    }
  }
}

Call the "LCM" function with the desired integers and store the result in a variable:

result := LCM(12, 18)

Here's the complete code example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func LCM(a, b int) int {
	max := math.Max(float64(a), float64(b))
	for i := max; ; i += max {
		if i%a == 0 && i%b == 0 {
			return int(i)
		}
	}
}

func main() {
	result := LCM(12, 18)
	fmt.Println("LCM:", result)
}

In this example, the LCM of 12 and 18 is calculated and printed as the output.
