Exactly ! Why brute force LCM ?

The point here is not coding the best possible LCM algorithm. The program you linked is an example for the appropriate method on a suitable calculator (with MOD). But the idea of this thread is how to code a much less powerful method on a less powerful calculator like the 12C.

Of course that's nothing what you'd seriously consider for writing an LCM program. ;-)
